The 2009 ACVS Symposium Celebration … Benefitting the ACVS Foundation is sure to be both a blast from the past and an event you won’t soon forget. The theme of this year’s shindig is the groovy ‘70’s, and what better place to have fun, “chill out” and enjoy friends new and old.
If you thought the pictures at photoboothlive® were amusing before, wait until you see one of your advisors or a former student with a butterfly collar, platform shoes and an afro! Think back to a time when colors were bright, the pants were wide and the music was groovy. You will experience all of that and so much more! This event, formally known as the Symposium Reception and ACVS Foundation Silent Auction, is still the Foundation’s single largest annual fundraiser.
Last year the donated items were wonderfully popular and the cash contributions allowed for expert shopping for sought after items. We are looking forward to the same enthusiasm from you with your donations this year. From art pieces to unique regional specialties, wine to electronics, author-signed textbooks to veterinary equipment – all are greatly appreciated.
We are also making a special appeal to vacation home owners to donate a weekend or week-long vacation to your cherishered getaway. Gift certificates for adventure vacations (fishing, sailing, skydyving and hunting) are also sought after by your colleagues and friends. All items donated to the event are tax deductible and they help generate greater revenue for the Foundation each year. No time to shop? A cash donation is perfect and easy to do!
Your donation can help make the ACVS Symposium Celebration … Benefitting the ACVS Foundation, another great event.
