Fundraising Event of the Year for ArtBox, a Silent Art AuctionUniversity of Manchester Student Union
Funraising won the award for 'Fundraising Event of the Year 2018' with its debut event in December 2017: 'ArtBox: A Not-So-Silent Art Auction'.
This involved auctioning the work of 50+ creatives and artists with live-gigging acts and DJs.
Every piece was sold, and we raised £1,145 for the mental health charity Manchester Mind and its afterparty, 'PostBox'.
