Dear VOS Family,
I owe you an apology … because I am going to hit you again with my silver lining, glass half-full, optimistic view of the future. That said, I will temper it with a gray cloud of my own … there’s no hiding it, 2020 was a challenging year for all for us. Recognizing that, I find much to celebrate in 2021. We as a profession and as a community showed the resilience one might expect from veterinarians, but also an exceptional ability to creatively pivot in ways that one might not have expected from us. We showed our ability to move and be moved … and that is something to celebrate. That is but one facet of our upcoming Zoetis Celebration of Movement.
Think about it … what do we each do every February / March? … we gather, we celebrate and we move. We yearn to be active. What do we do every day? … we strive to help our patients live more active, mobile and comfortable lives and we celebrate when we are able to restore their comfortable ability to move and perform. That’s all the stuff that is behind this incredible pre-conference event…it is an excuse to get out and celebrate our ability to move and restore movement. The Zoetis Celebration of Movement is a Virtual Move-a-Thon. Some of you love to run, but others love to cycle or swim or walk or do Zumba. The bottom line is that you love to move and this event is an opportunity to benefit the VOS Education Foundation as you do so!

How? … you may ask. First of all, Zoetis has shown incredible support for our organization through their Premier Level sponsorship of the VIRTUAL VOS 2021. Rather than step back in the face of COVID uncertainties, they stepped forward and staked their claim in the belief that what we do day in and day out for our patients is worthy of their support, but they didn’t stop there. They believe that what we do to inspire and support the next generation of veterinary orthopedists is also worthy of support … so they continued to give even more sponsorship funding to support the Zoetis Celebration of Movement Virtual Move-a-Thon. When you register for this pre-conference event, your ENTIRE registration fee serves as a donation to the VOS Education Foundation because they’ve paid for all the swag including the stylin’ athletic, reflective shell jacket. Sure, you’ll also score some really cool swag, you’ll have an incentive to get out and move, you’ll have a hoot at the VIRTUAL VOS Opening Celebration and Closing Ceremonies, and you’ll have a chance to win great prizes like FREE REGISTRATION for the 2022 WVOC in Snowmass, Colorado … but it is for a great cause!
Sure, January 10 was the registration deadline if you wanted to be assured of receiving your cool swag in time for the event … here’s the deal, don’t worry about it … You can still get a jacket if you are one of the first 200 to register for this event! You just won’t get it by the kickoff date of February 14th. Most importantly, you get to support the VOS Education Foundation and the next generation of veterinary orthopedists. THAT is worth celebrating!
