Help save a life through GI research

An appeal from Martin Brotman, M.D., AGAF, Chair, AGA Research Foundation

Past Senior Vice President, Education, Research, and Philanthropy, CPMC Sutter Health

This holiday season is a good time to reflect on our many blessings and thank those who have helped make our lives and careers worthwhile, successful, and prosperous. What better way than to pass on something to those who will ensure that gastroenterology will advance in decades to come?

Progress in this lifesaving work is made possible by the generosity of many supporters, like you, who understand the devastating physical, emotional, and financial costs of digestive diseases. We simply cannot allow a slowdown in the pace of GI research, and we cannot afford to lose talent when research offers so much promise for the future.

What can you do to ensure the progress continues?

Show your support and give back.

Help close the gap in research funding and save lives. Make your tax-deductible donation online at www.gastro.org/donateonline.

The foundation funds promising young investigators who might not receive funding otherwise at crucial times in their early careers. The research of these individuals, while important to the field, if left unfunded, could end prematurely. That’s something the field can’t afford, and that’s why I’ve supported the AGA Research Foundation over the years through my donations. We must maintain a robust pipeline of research that will help safeguard the success of clinical medicine. I urge you to support the future of GI with a generous donation to the AGA Research Foundation endowment fund. Your donation of $250, $500, $1,000, $2,500, or any amount you can give today will keep giving for years to come.

May 2016 will mark the end of my tenure as chair of the AGA Research Foundation. I am proud of our accomplishments over these past years, and, while I will no longer occupy the chair at the head of the table, I will continue to be involved in the foundation’s important work. I am hoping that my last year at the helm of the foundation will be our most successful yet. A gift from you will be a vote of confidence in our work and will send a message that you share in our hopes for the future of digestive disease research.

Thank you in advance for support and best wishes for a happy, healthy holiday season and prosperous New Year.
