Many members made gifts supporting the Research Program and other core programs in the final days of 2019. Gifts both large and small were received—and much appreciated.
There was tremendous energy around the challenge this year, with assembly chairs crafting special messages geared specifically to their assemblies. Most assembly chairs sent two or more personal emails to their members during the challenge.
Your outreach and generosity provided a big boost to year-end giving campaigns—and a boost to our upcoming grant-making capacity for talented investigators.
Congratulations to the Allergy Immunology & Inflammation, Nursing, and Respiratory Cell & Molecular Biology assemblies! They will receive special recognition in ATS communications, at ATS 2020 Philadelphia, PA, and within their own assemblies.
Thank you again to all of the ATS assemblies for your enthusiastic support!
Truly, your energy, creativity, and participation this year were outstanding. Thank you for everything that you do for the ATS, young investigators, patients, and respiratory health worldwide.
