can fundraising be considered a hook?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

My grades and ECs are pretty good but nothing spectacular and I don’t have any hooks like URM or first gen student. So there’s nothing making me stand above the crowd.

But I had this bright idea that this fundraising project idea i’ve been building up for a few years now might be a replacement hook? I’m not the one starting a charity or anything but rather fundraising to help support the charity (I haven’t chosen yet). Would it be a big deal to colleges if I happened to raise close to 10,000 dollars to support a cause? I know thats a super high number but I have a plan for it. I would go through with my fundraiser anyways, even if it doesn’t help my college app, but I was just wondering if mentioning this to colleges would give me a boost?

Why does your life revolve around getting into a subset of colleges? And no, I don’t think being a hooker is a great idea.

My life doesn’t revolve around getting into colleges. As I said in my post, I’m just wondering if I should mention my fundraising in my college application. @albert69

Fundraising isn’t a hook-- lots and lots of students do it. But u shd mention it anyway.
