Please give to the Foundation on Giving Tuesday

Nov 25, 2018

Dear Friends: I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving and that you also had an opportunity to review our recent message about making a year-end contribution to the SVS Foundation.

If you haven’t already donated, #GivingTuesday would be the ideal time to do so.

Celebrated this year on Nov. 27, #Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. By contributing on this special day -- which traditionally begins the season of charitable giving -- you will be illustrating your commitment to the SVS Foundation while inspiring others.

Contributions of all amounts will help us achieve our mission: “To optimize the vascular health and well-being of patients and the public through support of research that leads to discovery of knowledge and innovative strategies, as well as education and programs, to prevent and treat circulatory disease.”

As always, you have the option of designating your contribution to the programs of your choice: greatest need, community health initiatives, research grants, disaster relief or the Alexander W. Clowes Distinguished Lecture Fund.

Thanks in advance for your consideration. And happy #Giving Tuesday.

Sincerely,

R. Clement Darling III, MD, President
SVS Foundation
