AASV Foundation Fundraising Auction

March 7, 2011
AASV 2011 Annual Meeting
Phoenix, Arizona

The heat is on as the AASV Foundation gears up for another exciting auction at the AASV 2011 Annual Meeting in Phoenix, Arizona!  The past three auctions have raised nearly $70,000 each, and the auction committee is eager to continue this success during the 2011 live and silent auctions on Monday, March 7, at the Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort. This key fundraiser provides financial support for a number of foundation programs, including scholarships, externship grants, and travel stipends for veterinary students to attend the annual meeting. 

To reach the goal, we need your help! Your participation in the AASV Foundation Live and Silent Auctions will support the Foundation's mission to ensure the future of swine veterinary medicine by funding research, scholarships, grants, and educational programs and materials!

Donate an item
Once again, we're relying on contributions of auction items to make this year's auction a success. To donate an item, simply complete the donation form and submit it to the AASV by December 15. Donors will be recognized along with a description of the item in the auction catalog to be printed and distributed prior to the annual meeting. The information will also be posted to the online auction listing, and we'll recognize your contribution in the AASV e-Letter as well. Successful auction items in the past have included handcrafted items, hunting and fishing trips, electronics, sporting equipment, artwork, clothing, and tickets to sporting events and other activities. Be creative and have fun with your donation!
