We've surpassed our goal!

July 12, 2019

Thank you!

 

In one month, we've raised over $12,000 for our scholarship! This gives us years of scholarships to give to our student employees, and we're so thankful for the opportunity to be able to show our gratitude to them. UMass Transit's 50th anniversary has shown us how much we can come together as a community and as the UMTS family. Thank you for supporting our current and future drivers! We couldn't have done this without you!

Halfway there!

June 24, 2019

Thank you all for helping us reach the halfway point! We're more than halfway to our $10,000 goal, and just under halfway through our fundraiser! We've raised an incredible $5,535 in 13 days!

 

We couldn't have done this without you. Thank you for supporting our current and future student employees with your donation so we can show our appreciation for their dedication to UMass Transit!

 

Please help us continue to spread the word to reach as many people as possible!
