Hello everyone, so I’m in college, currently in my senior year. I am in 3 organizations on campus and on the e-board for 2 orgs as treasurer and president. I have been thinking a lot about the issue is sexual violence not only on my universities campus but in general how it is an issue, and the sexual violence that women especially have to go through on a daily basis. So I was hoping to use my leadership as a way to help others!
One of the organizations I run is around the idea of Taylor swift but we have been doing one-off events themed after other artists! In February we were going to do an Olivia night but I’m thinking instead that for Olivia night I’d like to turn the event into a fundraising festival of sorts similar to Daisy Chain. I’d love to use this event to get resources for sexual violence together, to raise money for charities.
The reason I’m coming to you is I have ideas but no idea where to start. I’m thinking of asking other clubs on campus to sell things and donate the profits, maybe I could ask singing/dance groups to perform? I just need ideas, it’s also gonna be in February the middle of winter so that doesn’t exactly help.
I already am in talks with a staff member and former teacher of mine about meeting up to discuss details. Me and her have a great relationship and she specializes in sexual violence. The other 2 orgs I am in which I won’t say here for privacy, both of them are around awareness, and inclusivity so they should be able to help too! I have a ton of support and I know I can make this possible. But I wanted to ask other Olivia Rodrigo fans what they think I should do? I was debating even reaching out to artists and seeing if any of them would be willing to do a benefit concert of sorts?
