Fund-Raising Event, FlashMob at Microsoft Office, Gurgaon, Harayana on Friday, 18 th October 2019: On Friday, 18 th October 2019, at the Cyber City’s Microsoft Office, Gurgaon, Harayana a fund-raising campaign was organized by the volunteers of CRY. The volunteers conducted a Flash Mob. Around 1PM, the volunteers, all clad in Yellow, danced on 3 songs, while the crowd appreciated them. The event was full of joy, energy and a lot of fun. Volunteers also conducted some games where the participants had to segregate M&Ms and Gems according to different colour groups. Many other such exciting games were organized and winners were given Diyas(Earthen Lamp) as a gift. It was a successful event; people from the age group from about 17 years to approximately 30 years or so were the most active ones in the activities and helped the fund-raising event to be a success. Crowd-funding is an effective way to create a broad base of new donors, as well as to spread awareness
