AANA's 40th Anniversary Campaign Goal Exceeded!
Dear Colleague:
In the October 2021 Issue of Seeing Beyond the Scope, I mentioned the launch of the 40th Anniversary Campaign, an ambitious fundraising campaign where the AANA Education Foundationsought to raise $4 million in honor of AANA’s 40th Anniversary. Today, I’m pleased to share with youthat we exceeded this goal, raising nearly $4.4 million through legacy gifts, industry support andindividual donations.
The Education Foundation allows AANA to fulfill our mission to be the leader in arthroscopy andminimally invasive surgical education and your support is critical to our ongoing initiatives andsuccess. This includes advocating for new codes and improved reimbursement opportunities for ourmembers; delivering outstanding, cutting-edge scientific programming through online and in-personmeetings; helping hundreds of Residents get the training needed to improve their skill set andtechnique; and continuing to offer the invaluable AANA Traveling Fellowship program.
The campaign funding will allow for exciting new educational offerings. We will make an impact ondiversity, equity and inclusion in orthopaedics starting with our incredible three-year partnership withDePuy Synthes for Future Scope: Introduction to Arthroscopy and Orthopaedics, a a multiyearprogram for underrepresented medical students to pique their interest, learn the fundamentals oforthopaedic practice and encourage them to choose our specialty. We are so grateful to DePuy fortheir partnership and leadership commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion in orthopaedics.
