10x10’s MISSION
To empower the next generation of giving
HOW DOES IT WORK?
- 10 young professionals form a committee and organise a charity event (1x venue, 1x dragon, 3 x charity initiatives, and lots of food & drinks)
- Three Variety - the Children's Charity intiatives in need of support are selected by the committee
- Each committee member invites 10+ friends to make a $100+ pledge to attend the event. Therefore the event raises a minimum of $10,000 (10x10... Get it?)
- Upon arrival, each attendee is given 'Impact Dollars' equal to the value of their ‘Pledge’.
- After drinks and canapes, the three charity initiatives pitch their cause, model and impact to the audience, followed by Q&A, led by the Dragon.
- After the pitches, drinks and canapes resume. Meanwhile, the audience members are able to donate their 'Impact Dollars' to their favourite(s) of the three initaitives.
