Representatives from up to 50 local nonprofit organizations will be there to celebrate the launch and the UMass community coming together to kick off our campaign to raise $450,000. UMACC donors are invited to suggest additional local nonprofits to invite to the fair. 

In the past three years, UMACC has raised $1,387,000 for nonprofit organizations with approximately 60% staying in western Massachusetts, helping our friends and neighbors in need. The campaign is co-chaired by Barbara Krauthamer, dean of the College of Humanities and Fine Arts, and Greg Carvel, head coach of Men’s Ice Hockey. 

Campus COVID-19 event guidelines will be followed.
