Zoetis: Heritage Feeds Tomorrow. Pride. Commitment. Purpose. Values to carry you

Let’s have a Grand Ole Auction, Y’all! Donate by Dec 1

November 13, 2023 — AASV Staff

Yee haw! AASV is headed to Nashville, Tennessee, the home of country music, Honky Tonk Highway, and the Grand Ole Opry! As you dig those cowboy boots out of the closet and start practicing your line dance moves, take a few minutes to think about how you can "step up" to support the AASV Foundation fundraising auction!

For starters, "scoot" over to the AASV Foundation website to download the donation form at aasv.org/foundation/2024/donationform.pdf. Need ideas for your donation? Just "weave" through the list of last year's donations at aasv.org/foundation/2023/auctionlist.php. Please don't "brush" us off - we wouldn't want that to get on the "grapevine." We hope you will "kick" it up a notch with your unique and creative donation! But you'd better "hustle" because donations are due December 1!

To donate

To donate, submit the donation form with a photo 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.

As in recent years, the silent auction will be conducted virtually via ClickBid, and auction donors are asked to hold onto their donation for shipment to the winning bidder after the auction. The live auction will be held immediately following the Monday evening awards reception at the 2024 AASV Annual Meeting in Nashville.

You are making a difference!

Whether you choose to donate cash or an auction item, this annual fundraiser is essential for providing immediate and ongoing support for the many scholarships and grants awarded by the foundation each year, including scholarships, travel stipends, and externship grants for veterinary students as well as research grants, debt relief, and scholarships for graduate veterinarians. See aasv.org/foundation for details about these and additional programs supported by the foundation.

We'll see y'all in Nashville for the AASV Foundation's Grand Ole Auction!
