Oops! Did you miss the December 1 due date for contributions to the foundation auction? Shhh — we won’t tell if you won’t. Submit your donation now and we’ll add it to the other wonderful items we’ve already received at aasv.org/foundation/2021/auctionlist.php. But don’t wait — time really is running out. After December 15 we’ll move forward with printing the auction catalog and it will be too late.
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). 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!
