CNY Projects 2007 to 2008 The Run in 2005 took place in Hyde Park, and with over 150 participants, 4000 pounds was raised. The Run in 2006 took place in Jesus Green, Cambridge, and 5000 pounds were raise. The Run aims to reach out to the wider student body in hopes of raising awareness in the Western community about the severe poverty and education needs in China and hence to maximize sponsorship fund. The Annual Cambridge New Year Ball has been the highlight of the lunar calendar since 2001. 320 guests enjoy a traditional Chinese banquet followed by a fusion of cultural performances of East and West, all for the noble cause of charity. This fine tradition will continue as a major fund-raising event of the year.The Chinese New Year Ball is the flagship event of the Cambridge University Chinese New Year Trust. Every year we host a spectacular night of dance, music, culture and of course great Chinese food! A ture highlight of lent term, the ball attracts hundreds of Cambridge University students of all backgrounds, bringing together both Asian and non-Asian students in celebration of the Lunar New Year. It is of course also a great fundraising event, with our highly successful 2007 ball, Mulan Rouge, raising over £3,000. The fact that our guests know that their enjoyment on the night is also contributing to such a worthy cause, further raises the experience. Being a charitable venture of the CNY Trust, the CNY Casino will provide professional casino services for various event in Cambridge University from parties of 50 people to May Balls with attendance in the thousands. All of its proceeds go to the CNY Trust as charity. An innovative venture aimed at establishing educational relationships with high schools in China, looking to provide first-hand tutoring and guidance for students studying A-levels in the UK, helping them to achieve academic potential and a sense of belonging in a different culture.
