Raise-Off 2008

Cambridge University Amnesty student's 'Orange Wednesday' action 2008 

The Cambridge student Amnesty group with the 2008 RAISE-OFF trophyCongratulations to the University of Cambridge Amnesty Society, the resounding winners of Raise-Off 2008!

The Cambridge students raised nearly the double the ammount of any other group with 'Orange Wednesday' - a sponsored jumpsuit-clad protest against Guantanamo Bay that gained national press coverage, and a 'Happy Birthday Guantanamo Bay' clubnight. Their whopping total was £3000 raised for Amnesty.

The group were presented with the inaugural Raise-Off trophy at a special ceremony at Amnesty's 2008 AGM, and also won four free tickets to The Big Chill.

RaiseOff Amnesty's congratulations + thanks go to every student group who raised funds during Raise-Off 2008! We were blown away by the fundraising events taking place across the UK and the incredible contribution you are all making to Amnesty's work. A big round of applause and good luck for next year's Raise-Off.
