The ABVP Foundation Board of Directors
The Foundation has seven terrific students who we are bringing to Symposium this year via our Denny French Scholarships. The approximate cost to bring a student to Symposium is about $2000, so we need your help to continue to expose veterinary students to our amazing specialty.
Sponsorship Opportunities Include:
- Sponsoring one or more students this year
- Making a one-time donation
- Making a recurring donation
We have had increasing interest the last few years and we will only be able to continue this level of support with your help. So donate early and often. Please click the button below to make your donation.
The Foundation is a 501c3 charitable organization, which means contributions are fully deductible.
Thank you!
