Why we’re running this contest
We are running this contest to raise funds for visually challenged and underprivileged students in India. All proceeds will be donated for students' education. Each student requires only one dollar a day, or 365 dollars a year for their needs to be fulfilled. Our goal for this event is to support 3 students each for a year.
