Matching Donation Challenge for the H. John Barnes Scholarship

Dear AAAP Members,

The AAAP Foundation Development Committee would like to let you know about a matching donation challenge for the H. John Barnes scholarship!  In an effort to reach the $40,000 needed to fully fund the Barnes scholarship, we have a generous donor who is willing to match any donations made to the Barnes scholarship, up to a maximum amount of $2,000.00.  The deadline for this matching challenge will be June 1st.  To make a donation to the Barnes Scholarship, you can mail a check to the AAAP office, or donate online at https://www.aaap.info/aaap-foundation. Please make sure that you designate your donation to go to the H. John Barnes scholarship.  All donations are tax deductible and go towards qualifying donors for inclusion into the AAAP Foundation Guilds.  Any donations made to the Barnes scholarship between now and June 1st will be credited towards this challenge, so don't delay!  Thank you!

2021 AAAP Meeting Update

The AVMA has elected to move the 2021 convention fully online. This was done to ensure the safety of all participants. With this being said, AAAP will be moving to a virtual format as well. We all had hoped to be back face to face this year in Minneapolis however, the safety of our membership is our first priority. AAAP expects to have a similar virtual annual meeting format to last year. Registration for the AAAP 2021 Virtual Meeting will be separate from the AVMA Convention registration. Please stay tuned for more details.

If you have any questions or conference please feel free to contact [email protected].
