Family Weekend SCERF Fundraising

A Project by UMass Amherst Foundation

Making a Difference for Students in Need: As part of our Family Weekend activities (October 25 - 27), we will be collecting gifts for the Student Care and Emergency Response Fund (SCERF). SCERF is a vital campus resource that helps students cover expenses associated with food and housing, medical and basic health needs, childcare, technology, and more.
