Do More 24 Fundraiser

2019’s Do More 24 Fundraiser helped raise money for CCACC’s PAVHC. In a short 24 hour period, the kindness of the community was seen as we raised $4349 in total donations, almost reaching our goal.

​

All funds raised from this event will be used to help uninsured, low-income women in the community get the pap smear test. Because of the love and support this community showed, 50 women will be able to receive this preventive care service.

​

From this 24 hour fundraiser, we not only received funding but we also felt the warmth this community has to offer. During the event, there was an 80 year-old patient at PAVHC who learned about the fundraiser from the TV in the lobby. She asked if it was okay for her to donate $5 since she was currently living off food stamps but still wanted to contribute. Furthermore, just before the end of the fundraiser, we received a large anonymous donation with the message “In honor of my grandmother. May this world be rid of cervical cancer.”

​

This event shattered the image of Asians as being self-centered and not willing to donate. Together we were able to create a caring Asian community. We hope that you can continue to support us in the coming year.
