As END7 expands its outreach to students, we’d like to highlight a different young person every month who has joined our campaign. We are proud to share a reflection from our September Student of the Month, Arjun Arora, who raised more than $2,100 for END7 by organizing a fun and creative “dating auction” where people could bid to go on dates with generous volunteers.

Arjun shares, “I go to Simon Fraser University and am pursuing my major in Health Sciences and a minor in Psychology. I first heard of END7 in early July when my girlfriend showed me the “How to Shock a Celebrity” video. Little did I know that her love for Tom Felton would be the start of my love for END7! After watching the video, I decided to organize a dating auction fundraiser. We expected most of our “singles” to sell for around $35, but many went for over $100! Our highest bid was $200.”

Arjun also also shared with us his reasons for being so passionate about END7.

“The reason I love this cause is because all our lives we have been told that one person, with enough passion and charisma, can help make a difference in the world. I have always thought that this was easier said than done. But that is exactly why I love END7 – they make it so easy to be that person making a difference in the world. Even if you don’t have the time to hold a fundraiser yourself, just making a small donation means you are making a difference in the world. You are letting a mother see her daughter smile one more time, you’re letting a kid have the ability to go to school and make friends, you’re helping allow a father to go to work without worrying that his son will be lying ill in bed all day. You are making a difference with END7.”

We are so deeply thankful for the commitment Arjun and other students have made to this cause. If you are ready to take your passion for END7 to the next level like Arjun and his friends, on Facebook or at to learn how you can get involved!
