There will be an auction for charity held on the Poster Street on Tamsui Campus between 6 and 10 of March. This event is organized by the Departmental Association of the Business Management, together with Taipei Medical University and University of St. John’s.

The opening of the auction will be at noon on March 6 with 100 “Fortune Bags” to be given away for whoever attends the event. Every noon until Friday, a one-dollar auction will be held. Furthermore, it is also possible to bid on the intranet of the university. As in previous 2 years, students can bid on food, agricultural products, groceries, stationery, and electronic appliances; however, this year there will be several memorabilia related to Taiwan’s National Baseball Team on offer as well.

Similar to last year, at least three hair saloons from Tamsui downtown will provide their services for charity. Those who would like to have a new hair-do for a cause, don’t forget to take advantage of this opportunity.

This event is the third year in a row and has been fairly successful in the money that is able to raise. Last year, the organization raised NT$ 500,000, which all went into a charitable foundation. This year the money that will be raised will go to a foundation for the visually impaired and a couple of other organizations.
