Color Us Impressed! You Raised over $86,000 for Research at the 2023 Research Awards Gala

This past June we celebrated ASE’s 2023 Award Winners with our “All the Colors of the World” Research Awards Gala. It was a magnificent evening that highlighted the diverse culture of our members by encouraging attendees to wear attire that showcased their personal heritage. The Gala is the Foundation’s largest fundraiser every year and we are ecstatic to share that the event raised $86,871! These funds will go towards ASEF’s 2024 research projects, allowing the Foundation to continue to support the progress and future of our field by investing in the discovery process and in the careers of investigators.
