Operation Santa Claus MBA Challenge, is an annual fundraising campaign in Hong Kong which jointly organised by South China Morning Post (SCMP) and Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK).
|
A team of seven MBA students from The University of Manchester Worldwide (“UoM”) - formed the “Ginger Heart” team, had also been active in fundraising for a number of charities, with the aim of benefiting the underprivileged in the region. They raised funds by offering Christmas gift packages to donors, including baked goods, luxury toiletries and shopping mall vouchers, given to the group by its sponsors. The project started from scratch and the students had spent the time other than their full-time work, workshops and examinations, to design and execute the fund raising plan - “Ginger Heart Charity Sales”.

The team, with their enormous efforts, not only exceeded the fund-raising target and closed at HK$280,000, they also won all the Top 3 Awards: “Top Fundraiser Award”, “Fringebacker Outstanding Online Fundraiser Award” and Champion of “Best Santa in Community Contribution”.
