The 2010 ACVS Celebration - Celebrate Seattle! Benefitting the ACVS Foundation

7:00-8:30pm, Friday, October 22

Enjoy the friends and relationships that you’ve built in the ACVS at this fall’s Celebrate Seattle! event, which benefits the ACVS Foundation.

This is the ACVS Foundation’s biggest fundraising event of the year and always the social highlight of the Symposium. Proceeds from this event and other fundraising activities enable the Foundation to support the research and educational mission of the College.

This year, as in previous years, the Foundation will have highly sought-after items available for the highest bidder. These include vacation homes, wines, artwork, sought-after educational courses and electronics. Make sure you review the item descriptions in the Symposium Final Program & Exhibits Guide before the event begins so that you are well prepared to battle for the items you want!

Check out “The Kids Corner," for the younger guests of the 2010 ACVS Veterinary Symposium. This section will have raffle items just for those age 18 years and younger.

The evening’s events include:

• Silent Auction: Bidding on items will close at 8:15pm.
• Raffle: Raffle tickets are available for purchase beginning Wednesday afternoon and during the reception. Winning raffle tickets will be drawn at 8:00pm.

These and several other items will be available at this year’s event:

• Imagine waking up to this view. Located just minutes from the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, this destination is stunningly beautiful in the tropical north Queensland area. For a 7-night stay, this 3-bedroom home is sure to be one of the greatest retreats offered in the silent auction.
• Enjoy a unique sampling of wines from one of the most popular wine-growing regions in the world -- Northern California.  The collection includes reds and whites from Napa, Sonoma, Russian River and Healdsburg.
• Make sure you are trained in the latest technologies available in veterinary surgery. Available courses include two registrations to any veterinary course sponsored by AO North America, a Securos donation of a TTA course, an Arthrex Vet Systems donation of a TightRope® course, a BioMedtrix course and many others. Do not miss them!
• Check out one of the highlights of Celebrate Seattle! – photoboothlive® where friends and colleagues can capture their images on the big screen. Sponsored by MedVet Surgery: Past and Present and Affiliated Veterinary Specialists, Orange Park, Inc.

Enjoy great food and music, meet friends and support the surgical care of all animals!

All proceeds support the ACVS Foundation’s valuable work to improve the healthcare of animals.
