Jeff served as a UBECI volunteer in 2010 and was so inspired by the organization that he returned annually for the next nine years. In the latter of these visits he
reached out to fellow volunteers equally taken with UBECI and formed an alumni group whose members meet monthly to seek funding and help plan annual campaigns. He has committed to continuing his support for UBECI for the rest of his life.
