Fundraising

Online fundraising

To prepare for the following activities, we arranged several projects, such as selling our group products and raising money on our social apps. We plan to charge at least 2000 yuan before October 3rd. So far, 1,483 yuan has been raised. Besides, delicate stickers, hats, and key rings have been designed and specified. In terms of online fundraising, we first designed an electronic poster, including the introduction of our team, research topic, experimental purpose and so on. At the end of the poster, we have attached a fundraising link to facilitate online fundraising. This poster has been posted on our social media for more people to see and spread widely among our whole team. Concerning our online fundraising, our philosophy is to ask readers to contribute to public health research. The 1,483 yuan from the online donation will be mainly used for science popularization and public welfare activities, which can better improve our social influence and contribute to the public awareness of a basic understanding of medical knowledge.

 

Fundraising merchandise
We create a variety of customized products, including our brand pointy hats, t-shirts, badges, stickers, and mascots. After screening and design, these products are all printed with our logo, which can make people identify our team while raising funds. Considering all these aspects, we put the team's style into these products. Product shape and practicality are also considered. The price of the product is also suitable for people of all ages who are interested in our project. The above products have been launched in our online store, meanwhile, we have published different kinds of publicity, and have widely used our official 'Dr. Thermometer's social media account. Our social media account has mainly launched such a collection of articles. In this way, we hope that more and more people will get an access to know about what we have been doing.

At the later stage of our project, our teammates, with the aim of delivering the values of our products-RNA thermometer to citizens, ,hosted a fundraising at an institution and gave a presentation about the knowledge of vaccines. Prior to the day of fundraising, we had spread the information of this activity to people around us through social media.
To further notify more citizens about this opportunity to know our team and topic better, right before the fundraising, we handed out fans to pedestrians around the location. At the beginning of the fundraising, we presented the facts about how well citizens know about the safety of vaccines. In addition, we played several videos regarding the theory of vaccines and an accident about vaccines, which was the inspiration of our project. Furthermore, we wanted to thank those who had come out to support us under unbearable heat; therefore, some of us started talent show. We were pleased to have some excellent singers. Near the end, we sold our own customized products, such as caps, t-shirts, key chains, and pins, to some audience.

As a result of all our efforts, more people knew the existence and the goal of this team. With their support, we earned a total of 2100 RMB.
