Becoming a fundraising volunteer enables you to have a leadership role in helping to raise financial support and demonstrates your commitment to the Academy and its Foundation — a gift that extends well beyond your own career to help future generations of practicing ophthalmologists. Volunteers can help raise support for ophthalmic education or for the Academy Foundation’s programs.

Fundraising volunteers will receive logistical support from the Academy Foundation staff as they reach out to their personal contacts. We will help draft letters, collate mailings and provide updates on the campaign’s progress.  For more information or to become a fundraising volunteer, contact Karen Ito at kito@aao.org or 415.447.0356.
