United Friends School (UFS) is dedicated to fostering a strong, supportive community through a series of fundraising events each year. These events are essential in supporting UFS’s programs, maintaining its facilities, and providing financial aid, which allows the school to continue offering quality education and enriching experiences to its students. As part of the "40 years toward 40 More" initiative during the 2024-2025 school year, UFS hosts several key fundraising campaigns that align with its mission to enhance the educational experience for all.

2024-2025 Fundraising Events:

​

1. Fall Fest: A seasonal celebration marking the start of the academic year, where UFS brings together students, families, and the broader community for a fun-filled day of activities, entertainment, and fundraising.

2. Friends Walk: A walk-a-thon event where participants raise funds through pledges as they walk for a good cause. It’s a community-building event that promotes physical activity while supporting UFS’s mission.
