Charity Book & Bake Sale

Book & Bake sale - Conducted 7 annual editions of Book & Bake Sale where we collected pre loved books, curated the collection and got donations of home-made baked goods. We also figured out pricing, selection of appropriate day and venue for the event and ways to market and promote it effectively. We then put up a day long sale in a fun environment with innovations like live music (by friends) and tested our ability to convince people to buy the pre loved books and encourage the concept of recycling and sustainability. All proceeds were then donated to a charity of our choice for each year and included charities like Welfare of Stray Dogs (WSD), CanKids, Association for Welfare of Mentally Handicapped children (AWMH) and Project Dignity.

We collected Rs 2.6 lakhs and equipment for charities, contributed to the environement by promoting recycling and learnt the skills of event management, marketing and sales and the joy of giving.

We were awarded the ‘T20 Entrepreneur Excellence Award’ at STARup Summit (2018). Felicitated Charity AWMH (2019).
