The 2025 RAG Week, held from 17 February to 21 February, was a resounding success, filled with impactful initiatives, strategic preparations, and a spirit of giving that defines UP RAG. The week led up to the much-anticipated RAG of Hope Day on 22 February, ensuring that all preparations were in place for a meaningful and impactful event.
Throughout the week, the UP RAG Executive Committee actively engaged with sub council members and RAG partners to ensure that all logistical and strategic elements for RAG of Hope Day were in order. The Executive Committee visited various RAG sub council members, strengthening collaboration and ensuring that each committee was well-equipped and ready for the major event ahead. This engagement fostered unity and a shared commitment to making a meaningful difference in our communities. A special thank you goes out to all sub council members for the warm invitations and for making our visits so impactful.
One of the highlights of the week was the community outreach programs, where UP RAG and its sub council members engaged in impactful activities that directly benefited those in need. These initiatives reinforced our core mission—to serve and uplift communities through student-led efforts. From donation drives to hands-on volunteer work, the efforts of all involved were truly commendable.
As part of the preparation for RAG of Hope Day 2025, craft-making sessions were organized by all RAG partners, ensuring that they had meaningful and creative contributions ready for the big event. The UP RAG Committee also dedicated time to marketing the event, spreading awareness, and encouraging student participation. A standout initiative was the painting of a wall on campus, a visual representation of our commitment to making a difference.
A huge thank you to all the General Committee members who put in hard work and effort throughout the week—your dedication and passion helped make this all possible. The teamwork, enthusiasm, and energy displayed truly showcased what UP RAG stands for.
The dedication and enthusiasm displayed throughout RAG Week 2025 reaffirmed UP RAG’s commitment to making a difference. With meticulous planning and a strong sense of unity, we are set for an unforgettable RAG of Hope Day. We warmly invite all UP students, staff members, and the surrounding UP communities to join us in this meaningful initiative. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed—your hard work and passion will leave a lasting impact!
