2010 June/July Edition of the AAE Communique Many Donors Help AAE Foundation Make a Million
for Endodontics
|
The 2010 Leadership
Donor Reception, held at this year’s Annual Session in San Diego, Calif., celebrated a banner year for the AAE Foundation.
During the 2009-2010 campaign, $1 million was raised in support of endodontic research and education. A wide variety of AAE
members gave of their time and funds to help the AAE Foundation reach this unprecedented watermark. “Our Foundation is uniquely fortunate to receive support from members at every phase of their professional
lives,” AAE Foundation President Dr. A. Eddy Skidmore noted. Of the $1 million that was raised, more than $200,000 is
from residents and almost $30,000 is from educators. Forty-three out of the 164 pledges came from new donors who are not residents.
The remaining pledges were the result of members increasing their level of participation. Other
endodontic organizations have also demonstrated outstanding support. The West Virginia Association of Endodontists increased
its pledge from $1,000 to $3,000 in honor of Dr. Skidmore, the Illinois Association of Endodontists came up to the $3,800
level and the Edward C. Penick Study Club gave an additional $2,000 to bring the group’s total contribution to $8,500—the
highest contribution from a study club. If you are interested in contributing to the Foundation or raising
your existing pledge, please contact Debby Rice, assistant executive director for development, at 800/872-3636 (North America)
or 312/266-7255 (International), ext. 3017, or by sending an e-mail to drice@aae.org.
