Annual giving campaigns

Through our 50/50 ticket sales and People’s Choice fundraiser,  we raised $39.25 for Vokra (Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association) and $89.25 for Quest Food exchange. Through the cash-for-votes People’s Choice donations, we raised $167.95 for the UBC United Way campaign. Thanks to everyone who supported these three worthy causes!

50/50 winners


Adrian Lee Chuy took home the 50/50 cash prize of $127.50!

The Student Communications Services cleverly pooled their funds and won two of the three Amazon gift cards in the 50/50 prize draw. The remaining gift card was snagged by Colleen Money. Congratulations!

The big event: The ES Gingerbread “House” competition

This year, we invited the UBC community to cast their vote for the People’s Choice winner by casting their vote with cash. Each dollar donated equaled one vote for their favourite creation. All funds raised were donated to UBC’s United Way Campaign.

Following on from previous years, the overall gingerbread house competition winner was chosen by our impartial panel of student musicians.

People’s choice goes to…

 

 

With only a few dollars separating them from the second place team, Undergraduate Admissions  was awarded with the title of People’s Choice Champs, as well as a large basket of goodies from Bosa to share with their team. Great job, team!

And the winner is…

 

For the third year running, Student Financial Services took home the champions trophy and $100 for a team meal. Congratulations SFS!

Thank you!

We owe our thanks and appreciation to:

  • The decorating committee for transforming the concourse into a winter wonderland.
  • The set up team for carrying tables, and lending a hand wherever was needed.
  • All of you who stayed at the end of the evening to help clean up and haul tables, food, drinks and decorations.
