Fundraising is an excellent opportunity to raise funds to help cover the costs of participation in our medical mission trips! Many members are able to raise enough funds to nearly cover their ENTIRE TRIP COSTS!    Keep in mind that and a member it is MANDATORY to participate in at least 2 events to be eligible to register for trips!       As a friendly reminder, members who show up to these events, will not only earn funds that will be applied to their trip, but they will also receive 10 volunteer hours.  Additionally, MMA permits members to bring guests (family, friends, colleagues) to the fundraisers, and thus, allows the member to increase their fundraising income (note: the funds earned by guests are allocated towards the members they are assigned to). FYI, our partnerships include the: Miami Dolphins, Miami Hurricanes, Florida Panthers, and the Miami Heat.   Fundraiser Sign-Ups: https://forms.gle/zYXYagpii6hqpcfy8   How Our Fundraising Works:   For each event that MMA attends, the organization will receive a percentage of the money that was earned from our stands. In receiving these funds, the money will then be divided evenly among the members who attended that specific event. For example, if MMA earned $1,000 for one fundraising event and 10 people attended that event, each person would receive $100.   We are encouraging members to bring guests to our fundraising events. By bringing guests, members will be able to earn more funding, which in turn, would lead to greater monetary reductions.    Example: If our organization earned $1,000 for one fundraiser and 10 people attended: each person would receive $100. Now let's say out of those 10 members, one of them, Sally, was able to bring 2 guests. Each person would receive $100. The 2 guests in attendance would have their funds allocated to Sally (the member). Therefore, Sally would receive $300 instead of $100! Note: The more guests that attend, the higher the earnings.   MEMBERS WILL RECEIVE 10 VOLUNTEER HOURS (that will be recorded on their transcript) for every event that they attend.   DRESS CODE! Black pants, black shirt (long sleeve or short sleeve) and predominantly black shoes. The black pants MUST be dress pants. NO LEGGINGS, NO JEANS. Walmart and Target both have dress pants and plain black shirts for low prices should you need to buy them.    Please be aware that this is an 8-9 hour event on average, it is not fair to your fellow team members to leave early. Do not commit to a day you may have any other major commitments as we cannot guarantee to check out time.    *Once you commit to signing up via the google form you can cancel up to 48 hours prior to the event.
