We encourage AV Volunteers and others to hold fund raising events, run marathons, ride cycle races to raise money for the AV Foundation.
We are also very happy for the AV Foundation to be used to as a vehicle for AV Volunteers to raise money for their schools and communities where they spent time volunteering. Please contact us to discuss.
