Over the past 22 years, Citibank Taiwan and United Way of Taiwan have been working together to raise funds for small- and medium-sized social welfare groups to help the needy, according to a press release from the Citibank Taiwan.
This year’s event aims to help donors gain a better understanding of their recipients through five chick-shaped toys in “gashapons,” Japanese vending machines that dispense toys in capsules.
The fundraising drive kicked off at a press conference on Nov. 3 and will run until Feb. 28, 2017.
During the four-month campaign, those who donate NT$500 or more for 12 consecutive months will receive a chick plush toy and a cute canvas bag, according to the bank. [FULL STORY]
