Working with the Flying Samaritans can be exciting, challenging and time-consuming. A non-sectarian group of professionals from every type of imaginable background, they offer medical assistance and education to people in rural areas of Mexico. And since all Flying Samaritan clinic services are free for the patients, the money needs to be raised elsewhere.

Which helps explain why the students at UC Irvine turned to CampusFundraiser when they wanted a fundraising program that would be effective, quick and easy to implement. Noted group leader Sarah Simmons: “Because there was no cost up front, we were guaranteed to make money” – an important concern for any non-profit group.

Simmons recalled the group doing past fundraisers, such as working at concerts. “We always manage to find fun fundraisers,” she says in describing the experience with CampusFundraiser’s Family and Friends program. But fun, her team quickly discovered, is only one part of working with us. The other part is results with no risk.

Learning about CampusFundraiser from a sorority on campus, Sarah found a program that put all the tools and organization she needed in one place. After just three days of selling, this chapter of the Flying Sams generated 50% more money than any past fundraising program had done for them.

Members of the Flying Sams responded well when the program began: “They were enthusiastic and optimistic” says Sarah. And what of their results? “We put it towards a new roof for our clinic.”
