Fundraising is a huge part of the preparation for a trip though Unite For Sight. A volunteer has to raise $1,700 for the charity as part of their program. This should be carefully considered before you sign up, because it takes a lot of planning and effort to raise that much money. A method I am using is getting course prep materials from a company like Kaplan, Princeton review, or Testcrackers(I have myself found success with Princeton review because Kaplan is already used by the Premedical Society at UConn and Testcrackers is difficult to communicate with) and then auctioning or raffling off these to students at your school. Not only do the students get a discount, but you can contribute 100% of the money raised to your UFS page. This is a great resource. You may also have success at working with your school or local businesses. Whatever you do, plan ahead and start early!
