RAG OF HOPE DAY

25 February 2023

UP RAG is the official student-driven, non-profit fundraising and community service organization of the University of Pretoria. We are dedicated towards developing students through their active participation in community engagement activities. We serve as the committee that assists students from the university, schools, charities, shelters etc. in the community within our capabilities. Our assistance includes monetary assistance to learners by means of paying towards university fees, food drives, canned food, sanitary items as well as our time to name a few. We host multiple events and drives. There is an annual external event called Rag of Hope Day that is open to University of Pretoria and the Public.

RAG of Hope Day is a university event that is hosted annually by RAG that is scheduled to take place on the 25th of February 2023

This event is open to university students, the public and invited VIP Guests. Within our university we have TUKS Residences (university residences), Faculty houses, and key committees, all of which are partnered with each other and do their own RAG community work throughout the year.

For all RAG events these various structures work within their partnerships and with their preferred charities. For RAG of Hope Day each Partnership works on creating crafts from recycled materials which they then sell, the proceeds of those sales then go back into their charity work with their preferred charities, we also host a talent show and sports on the day.

We have games that are open to the public to participate in and food vendors on the day. The entrance fee is non-perishable items, sanitary items or monetary donations that will then be used by RAG to assist with our various initiatives.
