Calling all ATOD Members! Support ATOD’s next 25 years!
Amber Thornton Bullock, MPH, CHES
Fundraising Chair & Section Councilor
Last fall we celebrated our 25th anniversary – a time we appropriately acknowledged our great work. I know that we are a group of ATOD movement builders that will not rest on our laurels. We are well poised as a strong, active ATOD Section to move onward and upward during our next 25 years – which starts right now!
To move forward, we of course need to make sure there are sufficient financial resources available to support programming for the ATOD issues we so deeply care about. While APHA provides some minimum resources, it is up to us to make up the rest to be able to sponsor various Section events.
Today we officially announce our “Next 25 Years Campaign”. In honor of our 26th year, we are asking each ATOD member to make a $26 ATOD Section contribution. As a further incentive for this campaign, we will host a drawing for all donors to this campaign during our Section reception at our APHA Annual Meeting in November. The winner will receive a $50 gift certificate for the APHA Bookstore.
APHA now has an easy online system in place for you to designate your contribution to our Section. The link for online section contributions is http://www.apha.org/about/donate/Every Member/Sections/.
Thank you very much for your support – and we look forward to your support of our 26th year. So I invite you to contribute $26 to get this campaign off to a good start!
