Research Fund 23/10 :: Jelly Camp
December 1, 2023
On September 1st, the Big Kahuna was almost reaching Nazaré for a working lunch while listening to an incredibly interesting report on the radio.
In that report, a young woman was talking about Stand4good, an organization which helps young people who didn’t qualify for a scholarship to cover their university tuition fees and therefore can’t pursue a degree due to financial constraints.
In most cases, these young individuals miss out on the blessed scholarship by a mere decimal – or even centisimal (!) – in their scores. The Stand4good representative mentioned that this fact impressed her so much that she decided to do something about it.
We listened attentively to how this organization gathers partners who, through their contributions and donations, help these students get into higher education…
…and he thought to ourselves “We want to help these youngsters too!” And so we did.
As you know, Flying Sharks boasts its Flying Sharks Research Fund since its inception in 2006, and through this initiative, we’ve already helped dozens of young scientists with scholarships of varying amounts, that surpassed a cumulative total of 100.000 euros last summer.
Our latest contribution was therefore 1.000 euros to Stand4good. It’s a modest amount, but when added to other contributions that you can see on this organization’s website, it will provide a significant push to those young individuals whose opportunity of a lifetime slipped away by a narrow margin.
We therefore call upon all entrepreneurs, businesses, and institutions out there reading this message to embrace the spirit of Christmas 2023 and forward a few euros to these friends.
Who knows if you’ll be helping someone who will change the world (for the better)? Who knows if you’ll be making someone… happy?
We’ll never know if we had a decisive impact, but one thing is certain: when faced with a challenge and a problem, we didn’t just sit idly by.
