Having raised nearly $400,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society, Stick-it to Cancer is UBC’s largest student-led charity fundraiser, held annually in honor of fellow UBC student Scott Trapp. Drawing on my experience in the field, I provided consultation on media production, marketing, communications, and management. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, we successfully raised $100,000 by adopting innovative marketing and planning strategies.
