Last but not least: boozing for peace
The Glanzenburger student fraternity in Zurich launched its crowdfunding project, «Drinking for Peace,» on February 29. If they raise more than 10,000 francs through this campaign, the entire amount will go to the Red Cross.
For 100 days, students can donate beer, which they have to drink on one evening in July. Charity doesn't have to be a dry affair, says Martin Fussen, alumni president of the fraternity, describing the campaign in a press release as unique in Switzerland to date. The Zurich students are counting on donations for various reasons: "While some want to do something good for people in need, others will donate just to give the fraternity a good buzz."
The campaign is available on the Swiss crowdfunding platform 100-Days to find and Donations donations can be made by credit card, SMS or Paypal. Donations of over 2,000 francs were received in the first two days of the campaign.
The fact that the association has not set an upper limit for its collection campaign seems somewhat risky. Regarding the "danger" of a major success, the project initiator said that they really didn't yet know how they wanted to deal with several hundred liters of beer. (uma)
