Annual Research Awards Gala – Update

The ASE Executive Committee recently made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Scientific Sessions. As we explore alternative options for sharing this year’s Scientific Sessions content, we are also exploring options to still offer the Gala live at a later date this year. We will be discussing all possibilities with our ASE Foundation Board before making a final decision. In the meantime, all table and seat purchases will be held however, if you’d prefer to request a refund we are able to process those requests. If you do select to receive a refund, we ask you to consider leaving the tax-deductible donation portion of your purchase with the ASE Foundation as this event represents our largest fundraiser for the year and is instrumental in supporting our 2021 projects. 

If you have any questions, please contact gala@asecho.org.

Spring Giving Day POSTPONED

After careful consideration, we have made the decision to postpone the Spring Giving Day fundraiser that was scheduled to open this afternoon. The global effect of COVID-19 continues to evolve and this is unfamiliar territory for all of us. We will continue to monitor this developing situation and look to reschedule Spring Giving Day sometime later this year. 

Spring Giving Day Is Next Week!

ASEF will welcome the first day of spring with its 5th annual Spring Giving Day on Thursday, March 19th. 

Help us spring into action with a donation to kick start our 2020 annual appeal. Donating will be simple with our special web page that will be live starting at 4:00 PM, March 18th through 12:00 PM March 20th

Remember to share your support on social media! Tag @ASE360 and include #SeedsOfChange, #SpringGivingDay, #MarchGladness, #ASEFoundation. We want to know what ASEF means to you.

Thank You! AUS Bushfire Fundraiser Recap

ASE members show #ASECares. 

 

Contributions made towards the ASE Foundation’s Australian Bushfire Fundraiser have allowed us to donate $3,205 to the Astralasian Sonographers Association (ASA). These funds will be used to provide travel and attendance support for individuals from bushfire affected postal codes so they may attend the upcoming annual ASA conference in May 2020 free of charge.

 

 

Call for Volunteers: 2020 Global Health Events

The ASE Foundation is now accepting volunteer applications for two global health outreach opportunities. Teams will be working in St. George, Grenada and Northern Vietnam in the spring of 2020. Both physician and sonographer team members are needed. Event details and volunteer application can be found at asefoundation.org/volunteer.

All applications are due by Friday, February 7.

Australian Bushfire Fundraiser

The ASE Foundation has pledged $1,000 to support those in bushfire affected regions to attend the Australasian Sonographers Association (ASA) 2020 conference in May. We will match an additional $1,000 in donations received. Please join us in showing #ASECares by supporting our colleagues in Australia.

Contributions will be accepted until January 31, 2020. 100% of all funds raised will be donated to the Australasian Sonographers Association. 

‘Donate a Cup’ for National Coffee Day: 9/28-9/30

National Coffee Day is September 29th and the ASE Foundation has set a goal to raise $2,500 between 9/28 – 9/30. #BoostASEF with a donation over this weekend and when you do, be sure to post it on social media. Tag @ASE360 and use #GaveACup to share that you’ve donated! We want to see your pictures whether you’re sipping on a cup of coffee at home, at the echo lab, or with your favorite barista and a local shop.  

By the way… making a donation this weekend will be VERY simple. We’ve made a special web page so you won’t have to leave our website. It will go live on September 28th and it’ll take you less time to donate than it does to order your grande double shot no foam soy latte ?
