ANNUAL GALA DINNER AND FUND-RAISING AUCTION
Again this year, the time has come to seek your participation in the Rabies in the Americas (RITA XX) fund-raising auction. During the previous RITA meetings in many great items were offered for auction, donated by the meeting participants and others concerned with rabies and its control and prevention. These auctions have raised thousands of dollars to support a noble cause.
Proceeds from the auction will go to support the George M. Baer Latin American Investigator Award, which each year gives a researcher from Latin America the opportunity to attend the RITA meeting and present his or her work. The money raised through the auction finances the costs of travel, lodging and registration at the meeting for the LAIA winner. Your participation is key to supporting this initiative. Donation of items for auction, as well as participation by purchase of items at the auction is essential for the success of this event, which is held each year at the Gala Dinner.
The International Steering Committee and the local organizing committee thank you in advance for your generous support and participation.
This year, the auction will be held during the Gala Dinner on Wednesday, October 21 2009. The Gala Dinner is a semi-formal event, with a banquet, music and dancing.
Any items you wish to donate for the auction can be brought to the registration desk at the beginning of the conference. Big, small, serious or funny – all donations will be gratefully welcomed. If you will not be able to attend RITA XX, but still wish to make a donation to the auction, please contact Julie Picard to make arrangements.
