AmFund is a great addition to our fundraising event. They provide detailed outlines of the trips at the event, a representative to explain the trips to event attendees, and as an organization we aren't at risk of losing any money.

Our event is elegant, and AmFund is a perfect enhancement to help raise more funds in support of KETCH. --KETCH Team
