The Project: UD EMS is using Flyer Funder to raise money for the current officer group to attend the National Collegiate Emergency Medical Services Foundation Conference (NCEMSF) in Arlington, VA in February 2026, as well as for improving and updating our medical equipment. UD EMS provides completely free basic life support and transportation to local hospitals for any person on UD's campus.
Who We Are: University of Dayton Emergency Medical Services is a completely student-run and volunteer organization on the University of Dayton campus and has been in service since 1992. UD EMS operates 24/7 throughout the academic year and provides transportation/pre-hospital care for all patients experiencing medical and trauma emergencies here on campus. We are composed of 60 nationally and locally certified EMT-Bs who are undergraduate students at the University of Dayton. Our new members complete rigorous training during the fall semester before certifying through the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians and all members complete continuous education and training throughout the year. UD EMS prides itself on the continuous mentorship process that second, third, and fourth-year members provide to the new and current members.
We are funded by UD Public Safety which provides a scholarship opportunity for the select members who are offered a position. Our members are dedicated to serving the University of Dayton community and are consistently grateful for the opportunity to contribute to our community in such a unique way, especially as college students. As a nationally recognized organization and part of the National Collegiate EMS Foundation, UD EMS holds itself and its members to the highest of standards and looks forward to finding more ways to grow and serve the community.
The Impact: The National Collegiate EMS Foundation Conference is a phenomenal opportunity for members of UD EMS to share ideas and experiences with other collegiate EMS organizations. Furthermore, at the NCEMSF Conference there are a wide variety of workshops that will take a deep dive into a specific topic, which will improve how UD EMS serves our campus and the surrounding community. NCEMSF also has an awards program which recognizes individuals, groups, and activities. We strive to win awards such as the HEARTSafe Campus award which recognizes groups and schools that have improved the safety of their campus through CPR education and outreach. This award, as well as many others, will help spread our motto of “students helping students” to more than the University of Dayton community.
What Your Gifts Will Do: The money contributed to this fundraiser will allow members of UD EMS to attend the National Collegiate EMS Foundation Conference, which is being held in Arlington, VA in February 2026. The money raised will be used to fund the transportation of members to the conference, as well as fund our accommodations in Pittsburgh. Additionally, all funds raised beyond those required to attend the NCEMSF Conference will be used to fund equipment and other operational upgrades to help ensure we can provide the highest quality of care to the University of Dayton community.

We are officially less than 24 hours left of our fundraising campaign!! The University of Dayton is preparing for ONE big DAY! Wednesday, April 8, is One Day, One Dayton, the University’s eighth annual day of giving, and it’s also the last day to raise money for the UD EMS fundraising campaign.
On April 8, any gifts made to our campaign will not only support efforts to send our officers to the National Collegiate Emergency Medical Services Foundation Conference (NCEMSF) and improve our medical equipment, but will also help the University reach its goal of 6,600 One Day, One Dayton donors (and we all know how competitive Flyers are)!
We are at 30% of our goal of $9000 already raised for our campaign. Now is the time to contribute! Gifts of any size make a difference!
We can only meet our goal if we make the community aware of our great work. While visiting our campaign and making your gift, please consider sharing the campaign on social media, using #1Day1Dayton.
Thank you for your generosity and continued support of UD EMS!
