BE Generous – Donate by DEC 1 to the AASV Foundation Auction!

November 23, 2022 — AASV Staff

The 2023 AASV Annual Meeting theme calls upon swine veterinarians to “BE” and fill a variety of roles within their families, jobs, communities, and profession. It just so happens that the AASV Foundation was formed in 1989 to support and assist with that very effort! The foundation’s mission is to “empower swine veterinarians to achieve a higher level of personal and professional effectiveness.” The annual AASV Foundation auction fundraiser is essential for providing immediate and ongoing support for the many scholarships and grants doled out by the foundation each year. Please BE generous and considering donating an item - or making a cash contribution - for the 2023 auction. Donate auction items by December 1

To donate, complete the donation form at aasv.org/foundation/2023/Donationform.pdf and submit a description and image(s) of your item by December 1. Your contribution will be recognized in the auction catalog as well as on the auction website, and your name will appear in the full-page JSHAP spread recognizing our auction item donors.

What's already been donated? Check out the generous contributions here!

As in recent years, the silent auction will be conducted virtually via ClickBid, and auction donors are asked to keep their donation for shipment to the winning bidder after the auction. The live auction will be held immediately following the Monday evening awards reception on March 6 at the 2023 AASV Annual Meeting in Aurora, Colorado.

Just think: Your contribution will enable yourself, your colleagues, and your profession to BE so much more! To get started, just BE generous.

The auction proceeds are put to immediate use to fund the many foundation activities that receive annual support. Here are some of the ways the AASV Foundation is currently benefiting those engaged in the swine veterinary profession:
