"All aboard!" Dr. Chase Stahl, AASV Foundation Auction Committee Chairman, has charted the course and is at the helm calling on AASV members to join in "Navigating the Future … Together" by donating to the 2021 fundraising auction. His crew is already making good headway in their efforts to solicit auction items, as evidenced by the growing list at aasv.org/foundation/2021/auctionlist.php. It’s time to hop on board and pull your weight with the rest of the AASV crew: submit your donation by December 1!
While endowed funds provide income for some foundation programs, the funds raised at the auction are essential for the annual research grants, student annual meeting travel stipends, swine externship grants, scholarships for those pursuing board certification in the American College of Animal Welfare, and the additional student debt-relief scholarships that will be provided this year.
To donate, download the donation form at aasv.org/foundation/2021/Donationform.pdf and submit a description and image of your item(s) 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 JSHAP full-page spread recognizing our auction item donors. Plus, there’s a good chance you may read about your donation in the AASV e-Letter!
New this year: Due to the online nature of the meeting and auction, we request that donors NOT ship items to AASV. Instead, we’re asking donors to ship their item directly to the winning bidder after the auction.

Working together, we can navigate the future … whatever it looks like!
