How The Program Works
Getting started with a United ticket fundraiser is easy. Once your organization signs up for the program, United will create a custom ticketing website and QR code to share with your community through email, social media, or custom flyers. Every ticket purchased through your link generates a $5 donation for your group.
Last year, United hosted Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) School’s Out Night. This event saw nearly $4,000 raised for the APS Education Foundation by simply promoting the game to APS students, families, and staff.
