Giving Tuesday

Dear Fellow EAST Members,

As Giving Tuesday draws to a close, we would like to thank you again for all that you do to care for injured patients while supporting our mission of developing the next generation of trauma leaders. Because of you and the support of our dedicated volunteers, we can continue to offer programs and resources that support our members' professional and educational development and the future of your profession.

The future of your profession is also bright thanks to our generous donors whose contributions continue to allow us to fund scholarships, awards, and programs that support trauma leaders while advancing the field of trauma care. Thank you for giving more than $6,000 today! Your donations have raised more than $100,000 for the EAST Development Fund to date this year!

As a thank you for your commitment to EAST and to your peers, this Giving Tuesday, we gave back to you by gifting 25 randomly selected members with EAST swag as small tokens of our appreciation. The lucky recipients are listed below. Please know that although your name may not have been drawn, we are grateful for all that you do to care for patients everywhere and for your continued support of our mission.

We wish you all the best this holiday season and look forward to seeing you at the 38th EAST Annual Scientific Assembly in Tucson, Arizona!

Happy Giving Tuesday!

With gratitude,
The EAST Development Committee
