  VAFRE members can once again purchase a Season Pass to prepay for all of their meetings, either in-person or virtually!

  A Season Pass covers either in-person or virtual registration for all regular meetings from September 2026 through June 2027, including the monthly luncheons and the Awards reception.* 

  The Season Pass allows members the convenience of one annual payment for VAFRE events at a discounted rate:

  • Just $230.00 for in-person - that's $35 less than paying as you register for each event! 
  • Just $75.00 for the virtual option - a discount of $15 off of the pay-as-you-go rates. Those with a virtual season pass will have the option to upgrade to an in-person registration when they wish to do so for a small fee to cover the costs associated with the in-person event.

  Members may also send another staff person in their place if they are unable to attend a meeting (simply contact our offices to register your substitute).

  ADDED BONUS: Season Pass holders may register one guest to attend any one regular monthly meeting (excludes Awards luncheon) at no additional charge. That's an additional savings of $30 for the in-person pass and $13 for the virtual pass!

  *VAFRE reserves the right to charge Season Pass holders for any additional events that may be scheduled.

  Please note: the Season Pass is available to members only. You must be logged in to register for this option.

  Our Program

  New to development, miss chatting with your development friends, or want to make more connections? Well, have we got the brown bag event for you!
  
  Get to know your fellow fundraisers with this speed-dating-esque session at Shineforth (formerly UMFS) on Tuesday, July 14, from noon to 1:15 p.m. You'll have five minutes with 5-10 random folks for an opportunity to get to know some new peers or reunite and finally plan that coffee with a friend. We promise you'll walk away with even more people to chat with or sit by at regular sessions, and some practice in those cold conversations we all love. Don't forget to bring your lunch (or order a lunch through VAFRE) and your business cards! Register Today! 

  There is no fee to participate in a Brown Bag luncheon (unless you opt to purchase a box lunch), so bring a friend you think would benefit from becoming a VAFRE member!
