"Lola's How-To Gala" A Video on how to successfully plan a Charity Gala Event using my strategy!

How To Successfully Plan A Charity Gala Event!

My Heart Story: Growing up in a developing country such as the Philippines, I and many of my peers experienced profound inadequacy in educational support, learning materials and school resources that hindered many of us from graduating College. The lack of resources resulted in discouragement, disappointment and desperation leading some to quit school. But because my grandmother (we call her Lola) believed in the importance of getting an education, she used all of her connections and efforts to help me secure scholarships, necessary funds and learning materials to allow me to succeed in education! By providing me with the things that I needed to succeed in school, it also increased my morale and confidence to be able to pursue my goals.

As a result, my struggles and experience led me to strongly advocate for the provision of educational resources and assistance to underprivileged students in underserved communities. My passion lies in raising funds to provide the necessary materials they need both inside and outside the classroom, as well as promoting emotional relief in the hopes that it will inspire and encourage them to do their best in school. This includes the provision of books, clothes, shoes, learning materials, school supplies, clean water and nutritious food.

My Platform: ‘Level The Playing Field in Education’ - Fundraising campaign for the provision of educational resources such as school supplies, textbooks, scholarships, and support for underprivileged students especially in underserved communities

My Legacy Project: The creation of "Promise Of Tomorrow" Global movement. In this project, movement leaders across all continents will simultaneously plan on giving back at the same time, twice a year and give back to their communities. For example, the "Promise Of Tomorrow" movement will schedule gift-giving every 1st day of February and August of each year. Funds will come from donations and from the Charity Gala Event held annually. On August 1st, school supplies, books, materials and clothing will be given to 100 students. On February 1st, food (feeding of 100 students) and scholarship funds (scholarship grant to 10 students) will de distributed.

My secondary support project: The creation of A “How To Lola’s Gala” which is an instructional manual delineating the key steps and methodologies on how to plan, organize and effectively implement a Charity Gala Event with net profits of at least 60%. This "How To Gala" is key for any person and organization to successfully raise funds for the "Promise Of Tomorrow" movement.

My Mission-Vision: To create a legacy project in the form of an Instructional Manual; that will enable other people and organizations to effectively raise funds by following my strategic steps on how to successfully plan, organize and implement a Charity Gala in a breeze!
