Since 1985, the Foundation has been gathering funds to support the field of sexual science and, in particular, SSSS and its members. As the Foundation has grown, so too have the needs. Now, as the Foundation enters its third decade, it will conduct a major fundraising drive “Building on the Foundation.” Your pledge/donation* for this year-long campaign will be your ticket to attend this reception. Become a supporter this initiative and receive a commemorative pin in recognition of your commitment to “Building on the Foundation” in 2006.
Join with your colleagues at this fundraising reception
and help “fund the future” of sexual science.
* Your pledge form is in your conference packet. Minimum pledge/donation amounts merely cover the cost of the event so please consider making a pledge greater than the minimum. Submit your pledge form at the FSSS Exhibit as early as possible. When you submit your form, you will receive the 20 th anniversary pin, which will be your “ticket for admission” to the event.
