POSTED IN: Summer 2013,
Emergency Medicine Foundation (EMF) reached our $1 million matching grant goal, and we could not have done it without you! Because of you, EMF is one step closer to reaching our first ever endowment. Eighteen ACEP chapters raised $30,678 to further emergency medicine research. EMF appreciates the generosity and leadership of these state chapters.
Auctioning Items to Further with EM Research
EMF will host a silent auction during ACEP13 to continue raising money for research. The silent auction will include signed items from entertainers and athletes, weekend getaways and many more great items. We are also taking donations to be auctioned off. You can donate items such as a weekend getaway, wine, jewelry, or an excursion package can be donated for the auction. To donate your items, go to the foundation website. For more information contact Cathey Wise at [email protected] or 469-499-0296.
Be a VIP at The Taste of the Northwest
The silent auction is not the only event planned for EMF during ACEP13. The Taste of the Northwest Classic at Chihuly Garden and Glass is our first-class VIP event recognizing our major donors. Donors who contribute $1,000 or more since January 1 2013, receive complementary tickets based on their giving level. Wiegentstein Legacy Society members receive two tickets. Individual tickets will also be available at the ACEP Bookstore for $125. Sponsorship packages are still available. Please visit acep.org/emfevent for more information.
Because of donors and state chapters like you, EMF awarded more than $500,000 in emergency medicine research. Research includes how physicians communicate with patients after they leave the emergency department, patient return to the ED, prescription drug monitoring, and implementing an emergency department to home transition intervention.
Thank you of your support and donations to EMF and emergency medicine research. Because of you, we can continue funding vital research to improve emergency medicine practice and patient care.
