| Summary of project | A holiday drive fundraiser was done to raise money to purchase gifts for the children of IFH families that are involved in a first year medical course. In this course, first year medical students along with other first year health professional students team up to visit families in the surrounding Gainesville community that have certain medical problems. We raised money by selling UF Med AMSA T-shirts, the first time that we've had some t-shirts for AMSA in a couple of years. We raised over $300 after expenses and dedicated another $200 to help about ten families this holiday season. |
