The fundraising event aimed to assist students from the B40 income group in their pursuit of education. The initiative received overwhelming support from donors both locally and abroad, including contributions from Malaysia, the United States, Germany, and Singapore.

The committee expressed gratitude to all benefactors and supporters whose generosity made the initiative a success. Special appreciation was extended to Benedict Pang, James Paul Raj, and Joseph George for their dedication and teamwork in organising the event.
