Annual Meeting & OTO Experience: Giving back has benefits, especially during Annual Meeting

Members of the Millennium Society, the foundation’s donor recognition club, have early access to registration, housing, and the choice of presentations.

Members of the Millennium Society, the foundation’s donor recognition club, have early access to registration, housing, and the choice of presentations. It is not too late to experience the Millennium Society’s exclusive benefits and recognition.  A donation of at least $1,000 to the Annual Fund automatically enrolls you. Do it now and don’t miss the perks of dining and networking in the Millennium Society Appreciation Lounge in Chicago.

Annual Fund donations are used to support the foundation’s current programs and initiatives in the year received. A charitable gift to the Annual Fund supports research opportunities, humanitarian and international programs, and improving quality and patient care outcomes that would not otherwise be possible.
