Tribute Gifts - Gifts that honor,
remember or celebrate...
Any gift to the AOA can also be a fitting tribute to an orthopaedic
leader. You may make a contribution in honor of a mentor or
colleague as a birthday, anniversary, holiday or special occasion
gift. It can also be a personal remembrance that honors the life
and memory of a colleague, friend, mentor or relative. When a
tribute gift is received, the AOA immediately thanks the donor
and informs the honoree or any person the donor wishes us to
notify. Please keep this in mind when making your gift to the
AOA.
