Research has brought so much to our specialty and advanced the science and practice of gastroenterology. Research is made possible through funding. AGA Legacy Society members are showing their gratitude for what funding and research has brought to our specialty by giving back.
Legacy Society members are the most generous individual donors to the AGA Research Foundation. Members of the AGA Legacy Society provide tax-deductible gifts to the AGA Research Foundation of $5,000 or more per year for 5 years ($25,000 total) or $50,000 or more in a planned gift, such as a bequest. All Legacy Society contributions go directly to support research awards.
“I was at a crossroads in my career when I received funding from the AGA,” said Michael Camilleri, MD, AGAF, AGA Past President. “Having been personally a recipient of awards from the AGA Research Foundation, I believe it is now important to give back. This is one of the ways I will impact not only the careers of young colleagues but ultimately patient care, as well.”
The AGA Research Foundation’s mission is to raise funds to support young researchers in gastroenterology and hepatology. More than 870 researchers have benefited from our support since 1984 – with more than 90% of AGA Research Scholar Award recipients in the past 10 years continuing on to exceptional research careers. These research grants are funded through the generosity of donors.
“To understand the fundamental mechanism of disease process, particularly chronic diseases is always a challenge, but it is critical to be able to interfere with the disease process, halt progression and hopefully achieve a cure,” remarked Kiron M. Das, MD, PhD, AGAF. “Research has to be continued, and we have to train young investigators. On behalf of my wife and myself, we want to thank the AGA Research Foundation for its commitment to promote discovery. It is critical that we support and give to the AGA Research Foundation.”
A celebration of research support
Beginning with a memorable gathering at the United States Library of Congress in 2007, the AGA Benefactors’ Dinner has welcomed members of the AGA Legacy Society and other AGA dignitaries to special locations nationwide. The University Club of Chicago will be the location of the 2017 AGA Research Foundation Benefactors Dinner during DDW in Chicago. Guests will enjoy a wonderful evening in the historic setting established in 1887 to foster an appreciation for literature and the arts. Members of the AGA Legacy Society will be among the distinguished honorees at the annual event.
