The SACSA Foundation Trustees thank you for your recent contributions and support to the Foundation. In Chattanooga, we challenged you to give and you helped us exceed our expectations. Your generosity resulted in one of the highest conference giving ever. We are proud to announce that $6900 was received in donations and from the silent auction. A tremendous thank you for supporting the foundation as we support our members and ensure the financial future of the organization.  A special thank you to Don Stansberry and his ODU team for the work with the silent auction. The auction provides another way for members to contribute. 

As we move toward the end of the year, we hope you will considered making an end of the year donation to the Foundation. It is a great time to honor a colleague, mentor, student or friend by making a donation to recognize them. All momentary gifts are tax deductible. Please make your gift online here
