History

Initiated in 1992, Charity Fiesta is the annual flagship fund-raising event organized by the NUSSU Volunteer Action Committee (NVAC). It is aimed at raising awareness, promoting volunteerism amongst undergraduates, and raising funds for our participating beneficiaries. Charity Fiesta was moved into public venues for the first time in 2003, with an added emphasis of spreading the message of volunteerism amongst the local youth. In the past few years, the event has been held at venues such as Suntec City, Jurong East and Junction 8, and has reached out to enrich the lives of both volunteers and beneficiaries. To date, Charity Fiesta has raised more than $400,000 for more than 40 Voluntary Welfare Organizations (VWOs) in Singapore.
