SPA 25th Anniversary Patient Safety Education & Research Fund Campaign

As the Society for Pediatric Anesthesia (SPA) celebrates its 25th anniversary, the SPA Board of Directors is asking for your pledge of support for the Patient Safety Education & Research Fund.

Our goal is to raise $500,000 in pledges to support advancing pediatric anesthesia safety efforts. Specifically, in combination with the current funds in the Patient Safety Education & Research Fund, this would allow $25,000 from interest each year to be used to support starter grants to investigate pediatric anesthesia safety questions.

We have pledges from 100% of current officers, board members and past presidents, as well as the majority of our former board members. These initial pledges total more than $150,000.

The suggested pledge is $5,000 over any timeframe up to 5 years. However, any amount of support will be accepted. We hope that you will be willing to join us in this worthy cause. Children are rarely seen as driving "market share", so our support to advance safety in pediatric anesthesia is critical.

The end of the year is drawing near - make your pledge and payment now to be sure your donation is tax deductible for 2012. SPA will match dollar for dollar all donations made in the 2012 calendar year!

Pledges and donations made after 4pm EST on Friday, December 28, 2012 will not be processed or recorded until 2013, and will not be tax deductible for 2012.

Thank you for your consideration of our request. If you have any questions, please contact Kim Battle, SPA Association Manager, at kim@societyhq.com, or one of your Directors.

Thank you.
