Previous foundation Events

Since 2016 The Foundation has held a fundraising event at the NAME annual meeting. Tickets that are sold benefit our research and educational efforts. In addition, the Foundation sponsors the Best Student Presentation awards, the Best Resident/Fellow Awards, and multiple travel stipends each year for students who present and submit a paper for publication. See the "Awards" tab for a listing of awardees.

The Foundation also hosts a 50-50 drawing where 50% of the proceeds goes to the Endowment Fund. There is also a silent auction where donors submit items which are purchased by members at the meeting. The donor receives the credit of a non-cash donation to the Foundation of the fair market value (FMV) of the item (or the purchase price if less) and the purchaser receives the credit of a cash donation to the Foundation of the amount paid in excess of the FMV.
