Happy Big Give 2026! On behalf of the University of California Optometric Student Association and the entire student body, we invite you to join us in supporting the UC Berkeley Herbert Wertheim School of Optometry and Vision Science by making a donation today!
Whether you want to pledge your support to the Emeryville Clinic, the Annual Fund, or our Meredith Morgan Clinic Annual Fund, every gift is critical to our continued success. Big Give has become a signature day for our Berkeley community. It is an annual reminder of what makes our school so unique — a close-knit community of students, faculty, alumni, and supporters who all believe in the impact of vision care and education. Your support helps ensure students like us have the resources we need to grow into amazing optometrists and vision scientists.
This year, UCOSA has pledged a $16,000 gift to the Annual Fund. We have made the decision to contribute as a way to invest not only in our own future, but also in the continued success of future generations of optometrists and vision scientists. Through this commitment, we hope to inspire all of you – our alumni, friends, and donors – to join us in making a gift.
As a special challenge, our gift can be unlocked once our entire Alumni Board makes a gift to our school – the challenge is on! As a student organization, we are extremely proud of the impact our gift will make and we hope you feel inspired to give back as well!
Once again, we invite you to make a donation today to the Herbert Wertheim School of Optometry and Vision Science. Every gift, no matter the size, goes a long way to help us be the best students, researchers, and practitioners that we can be.
Go Bears!
UCOSA
