Join your fellow alumni, family and friends to "flip for UAF" at the Alumni Hamburger Booth during the Tanana Valley State Fair Aug. 4-13.

The Fairbanks Chapter of the UAF Alumni Association operates the booth, which raises money for UAF scholarships. Once again, the chapter is using Sign-up Genius to organize its fabulous "scholarship fundraising machine."

You can help in many different ways:


  • Volunteer to join a shift. Create a team to cover a whole shift. This is excellent exposure for your business, group or team!

  • Sign up as a day-shift supervisor. Help open the booth, change shifts, be on-call for emergencies and close if necessary.

  • Prepare the booth. Join the team Saturday, July 29, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. to get the booth ready. (Spoiler alert: A few things have been rearranged this year, based on your feedback!)
