Well Thanks for Asking!

What is INDEVOURS? Well I am glad you asked! 

INDEVOURS is made up of myself and 31 of my wonderful colleagues in the International Development program at the University of Waterloo.  This group was created through a marketing and fundraising class that we took this year and last. We are using this as an opportunity to learn more about social media, advertising and what it takes to carry out successful fundraising initiatives. We are taking the skills and money that we raise and using it towards our overseas field placements in the fall.

Our class put this amazing video together to really show the world (and especially you, Ellen DeGeneres) who we are and what we are trying to do. We would love this video to go viral, so share it with all your friends and help us raise awareness. Thanks in advance.

We have raised money by running an Ultimate Frisbee tournament, which was a huge success. We also have raised money through selling calendars and bed sheets throughout the last few terms. 

We have a Global Gala in the works right now that has huge potential to help us meet our fundraising target. It is going to take place July 13^th at 5:30pm at the University Club on the University of Waterloo Campus. For more information about the Gala or to support us by buying a ticket, check out our webpage for more information http://indevours.wordpress.com/events/global-gala/

Through this we are learning a lot about what it takes to run higher profile events and the difficulties that come along with it; including getting people interested in coming and standing out from the pack when there is so much else going on. I know that some of my classmates, myself included, are a little nervous about this event but I know that if any one group of people can pull this off it is going to be INDEVOURS.
