Auction Fever Spreading Through AASV Foundation

The AASV Foundation Auction Committee needs your help! The committee is already hard at work securing items for the upcoming auction to be held during the 2008 AASV Annual Meeting in San Diego, CA.

Seizing on the lessons learned from the 2007 Annual Meeting, the committee has established a Big Hairy Audacious Goal of raising $50,000 during the 2008 auction. The funds raised support the Foundation's mission to ensure the future of swine veterinary medicine by funding research, scholarships, and educational programs and materials.

The Auction Committee needs you to donate items to be auctioned. If you are interested in donating an item or making a contribution please visit the AASVF website to download a Donation Form to be completed and submitted with the donation. Donations for the auction must be received no later than December 1, 2007 to insure proper recognition to the donor and inclusion in the auction booklet. Any items or financial contributions received after the deadline will be held for the 2009 auction. For additional information, contact the AASV Foundation office (515-465-5255, email aasv@aasv.org). To view some of the items already donated, visit the 2008 Auction Items Listings online.

When considering items to donate, keep in mind that the $50,000 goal can be achieved by auctioning 100 donated items at $500 each. Of course, the AASVF welcomes all donations and contributions. Successful auction items in the past have included hunting trips, handcrafted items, sporting equipment, artwork and tickets to sporting events and other activities. If you choose to make a financial contribution to this effort, be sure to note that the donation is to be used for the "AASVF Auction". Your financial contribution will then be used to purchase items for the auction. All items and contributions should be submitted to the AASV Foundation at the address on the donation form. All donations to the Foundation are tax deductible.

Please feel free to contact any member of the Auction Committee with any comments, suggestions or donations. Please support your Foundation. It's up to you to make this auction the most successful ever!!
