Alchemy- The Step to the Finale!

Greetings from CUCA,

Congratulations to the finalists of Alchemy, you have worked hard to leave behind 40+ teams to be here and trust us the road to winning has got tougher. Your topic for the grand finale scheduled on 30th July, 2009 is:-

The teams have to come up with a service launch report of a 'Foundation'. A foundation is a legal categorization of nonprofit organizations. Foundations may also and often have charitable purposes. This type of nonprofit organization may either donate funds and support to other organizations, or provide the sole source of funding for their own charitable activities.

The teams have to launch a foundation for particular diseases/disabilities as provided individually below. The topics were unanimously selected and allotted; hence no contingencies in this respect will be entertained. The report can contain the foundation details, the founders, the finance sources, the campaigns it plans to undertake (awareness as well as campaigns for the diseased), the achievements it has in mind, etc.

We are looking at how creative you can get in a socially responsible way as this is in line with the CUCA's initiative this year along with 'Going Green'. An usual service launch template can be followed which contains 4P's, STP, SWOT, USP, 4 C's, etc.(not necessarily the same) but remember it's a non profit organisation and your success will be mapped in other lines like penetration and awareness among the masses rather than profit. You need to be very clear with the financials too as without them your foundation goes no where.

The topics for the teams qualified are:

Department A

  1. Rakshana and team 3rd B.Com. 'A' – Foundation for Drug Addiction
  2. Jubeesh and team 3rd B.Com. 'A' – Foundation for Polio
  3. Aanchal and team 3rd B.Com. 'B' – Foundation for Heart

Department B

  1. Lavanya and Team- 2nd B.Com. 'D' – Foundation for Breast Cancer
  2. Madhumita and Team- 3rd B.Com. 'C' – Foundation for AIDS
  3. Chandini and Team- 2nd B.Com. 'C' – Foundation for the Mentally Challenged

The teams are to submit the hard copy as well as the softcopy of the CD containing the 5+1 min. ppt. to the CUCA reps by 30th July,2009-10:00 A.M. sharp failing which they would be disqualified (no pen drives would be entertained).

Any Clarifications contact Shilpa, 3rd B.Com. 'C'- +919886907613, Laxmi, 3rd B.Com, 'B' - +919986786629

All the best!!
