As part of Raise and Give (RAG) week at the Students’ Union in De Montfort University (DMU), the DMU Hip Hop society was asked to do a charity stall.
They chose to raise money for Make 2nds Count – a charity dedicated to helping those with secondary breast cancer.
Secondary breast cancer is a cancer that has spread from the breast to other areas of the body, also known as stage IV (four) breast cancer.
A member of the Hip Hop Society, Caitlin Hamit, was running the stall on Tuesday (Nov23).
She said: “The charity was chosen as it was an under-represented charity and one of her close family members had been diagnosed with secondary breast cancer and this charity helped her family with it.”
The week is arranged by the SU to raise awareness and money for a variety of charities. RAG week will be running until 4pm tomorrow (FRI, NOV26), with various societies raising money for their chosen charities.
The stalls are filled with fun games and things to do, where only a donation or a small amount is asked for to play along.
DMU Hip Hop’s stall decided they would have a chocolate toss.
The aim of the game was to land a pound coin on your desired chocolate bar and if you managed it, then you would win the chocolate bar in question.
They catered for all in this, with normal Dairy Milk bars, vegan and dairy free options for those who couldn’t have Dairy Milk.
The stalls also have a donation box on there with the charity details on in case you’d just like to donate without playing the game.
