Fundraising
Members of the dry lab are divided into three groups: "social media operation group", "social research group" and "procurement group". The "purchasing group" consulted, designed, and customized the co-branded accessories including team uniforms, key rings, small fans, etc. Following that, we managed to contact the suppliers from Alibaba to produce our customized peripheral products.
Purchasing group was actively designing the peripheral goods and contacting the manufacturer
Our first design for hot summer weather was the handheld fan. Because the target group of our topic is children, so the fan has been designed with the appearance of children. We also designed key chains and phone holder with the appearance of our team logo. In addition, we also designed face masks to be made available to the public during the pandemic. The colorful masks represent the autism community.

2022 August 5th is also Chinese Valentine's Day. On that day, we went to Changtai Plaza to sell roses to passers and in the meantime, we introduced our team and project for promotion. We had a good time selling roses and interviewing passers also our customers about their opinions about autism. All the money earned from this Chinese Valentine’s Day Sale will be donated to charity.
We sold roses on Chinese Valentine's Day as well as promoted our team and project.
Besides the first attempt at a charity sale, we also planned to organize another round of charity sales with our peripheral goods. In order to take the advantage of the internet, we designed a poster for this fundraising with the price list of our peripheral goods and spread this online so that anyone who would have interest could easily purchase our goods online or follow our project updates.

Our team members were very helpful in the promotion and we received many purchasing orders online.
