hen a grant request comes in that does not fit into the parameters of any of the designated funds, UAEF Trustees look to the Unrestricted General Fund as a source of funding for the grant. Additionally, grants that are large in dollar amount usually come from here because the endowment funds are not able to.

To make sure that this fund has money available, UAEF Trustees and community volunteers hold the Golden Bear Bash! each year on the Sunday night of Labor Day Weekend. This casual end of the summer party is the primary fundraiser for the UAEF with half of the net proceeds going back into the school system that very same school year.

The 2012 GoldenBear Bash! will be held on Sunday, September 2, 2012 from 7:00 - 11:00 pm. Be sure to check the Golden Bear Bash! page of our web site for all the details about our end-of-summer party!
