The ONS Foundation, in conjunction with the 35th Anniversary of ONS during 2010, is conducting a special fundraising campaign, “35 Reasons to Celebrate”. We’re excited about this campaign that will incorporate donors creating “Circles of Commitments”, where an “ambassador” seeks 9 or more other donors to create a Circle with them. We also have a general campaign appeal, which encourages donations of $35 or more, to secure a commemorative pin.
