Bringing joy and hope to young patients - Crafting unforgettable moments at Rigshospitalet
Christmas Lunch at HR BERG
As an event manager, I organized and led a non-profit Christmas dinner event for young patients at Rigshospitalet, with a focus on creating a memorable experience that would allow them to socialize and forget about their illnesses. The event included food, entertainment, and Christmas presents, and required significant fundraising efforts to ensure it remained free for attendees. Given the event was hosted in a hospital with a focus on hygiene and safety, careful planning and execution were essential.
