2021 Annual Campaign Surpasses $100,000
Development Update
The APMA Educational Foundation is excited to announce
that the 2021 Annual Campaign has reached, and passed, the
$100,000 mark. This achievement is a monumental feat for
the foundation, and we could not have done it without the
continued generosity of friends like you. You have come together
to support the future of this profession in ways that
can only be described as remarkable. We extend our deepest
thanks to all of you, your colleagues, and your state components
for your steadfast support.
As the year comes to a close, the APMA Educational Foundation
extends particular thanks to the following friends of
the foundation in 2021:
* PICA, for establishing a full-tuition scholarship to be distributed
in the fall of 2021.
* All who embraced and participated in the Highlighting
Your Heroes campaign.
* All of our endowment benefactors, for their lifelong commitment
to podiatric medicine and surgery.
All 2021 donors are gratefully acknowledged at www.
apma.org/educationalfoundation.
While this is an exciting time for us, our work of easing the
financial burden experienced by podiatric medical students is
never truly done. Support the 2021 Annual Campaign today

Jorich, development coordinator, at sjjorich@apma.org.

excellence, vision for the future of podiatric medicine and
