Amazon Smiles Helps SVS Foundation

Dec 01, 2016

Shop online at 'Amazon Smile' Page to Contribute

The holidays are upon us. This year you can do your shopping and do a good deed for the Society for Vascular Surgery at the same time.

Visit the Amazon Smile program, which offes a simple way to support the SVS Foundation every time you shop at Amazon.com. It costs you nothing beyond the cost of that cashmere sweater in your shopping cart.

Amazon donates .5 percent of every eligible purchase to the SVS Foundation. Those donations, multiplied by lots of member participation, can have a big impact on our ability to fund research for vascular health.

You MUST start your Amazon shopping at this web page: smile.amazon.com, in order for the purchases to result in an SVS contribution.

Many of us  save time during the holidays by shopping online for good deals. Now you can happily multi-task and share the blessings with the SVS Foundation.

Thank you for your support.

Learn more about what the Foundation does in our 2016 Annual Report.

Here's how to use the Smile program:

  • Visit http://smile.amazon.com
  • Sign into your Amazon Account
  • On your first visit, select the Society for Vascular Surgery Foundation as your charitable organization. Amazon will remember this selection for you.
  • Start shopping!
