Hi guys 👋,
As I know, after "some" is always a plural noun. Could you help tell me why "fund-raiser" is used as a single noun in this sentence? Thank you 😊.

Some, in this context, is used in the place of the phrase "something insignificant that I do not completely remember".
It is a shortened version of this phrase, and often has a dismissive or disrespectful tone.

The word "some" can also be used like an indefinite article. Think of it as being short for 'some kind of fundraiser'. It has a stylistic difference to just 'a fundraiser'.
