Organizing fundraising events is a proven way for a non-profit organization to raise funds. Bringing people together and engaging them in delightful activities motivates them to give their funds in support of the given initiative. To plan such an event, a non-profitable organization must identify a problem or issue to carry a campaign for. The problem should be relatable to the general public to attract a larger number of participants, raising funds. Giving an example of such an event, this paper will focus on the Our Child foundation fundraiser event developed to raise funds for children living with heart disease but who can't afford quality health care.
Our Child Foundation is an organization that was founded after observing a worrying number of children that continually suffer from heart diseases. These children lack access to quality healthcare and could not afford the expensive surgeries due to financial constraints that forced them to succumb to heart diseases. A running event will be organized annually and invites participants to support the event that will raise funds that will be used to support these kids as they seek medical attention.

The events will involve both corporate members and regular citizens. Our Child Foundation will partner with the corporate organization as part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) program. It will also involve their team-building initiative for the employees that will be signed up to participate in the run. For participation, the organizations will have to sign up by giving a certain amount of funds toward the initiative. For regular citizens, both children and adults will have to register for a little fee. All the participants will also be required to purchase t-shirts that are branded Our Child Foundation to boost the funds' raising. The run will involve a 20 Km run with the winners of different categories being awarded medals.
