Between 1 May 2026 and 30 April 2027, Chanh Dao will be organising numerous fundraising events for various charities and causes. We are aiming to hold one or more event each month. Keep an eye out on our ‘Events’ page as we add upcoming and new events.
Our goal is to fundraise a cumulative total of $40,000+ across these events and make a positive and lasting impact along with way.
While many of the events will raise monetary funds, we will also be practising other methods of generosity (thực hành hạnh bố thí), such as: writing letters and sharing kind words, volunteering our time through community service and caring for the environment, blood donation, etc. These non-monetary charity events will count towards our overall goal at a rate of $25/hour of participation per person.
The lessons are re-inforced in our weekly program with relevant Dharma topics selected and discussed to help our members relate theory to real-world experiences.
We invite everyone who has been part of the Chanh Dao journey, and more broadly, the Vietnamese Buddhist Youth Association community, to join our fundraising project. We would love to connect or re-connect with current and past members, parents, friends, supporters and affiliates.
