Class Challenge

The Philanthropy and Development Committee invites you to team up with your fellowship classmates for a bit of friendly competition! Which class can rally the most donors from their graduation year by the end of the 2025 calendar year. Will your class come out on top? 

Who can participate? Everyone!

When you donate, type your “class” in the comments box. 

• Physicians who graduated from fellowship and current fellows, by graduation year (i.e. class of 2015)
• Physician assistants, physical therapists, nurse practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, and researchers can participate in the “Health Care Professionals Class”
• Physicians who graduated in 2000 or earlier will be combined as one class and can participate in the “OG (original graduates) Class”
• Medical students and residents will be part of the “Future Urogyns Class”
• Want to create your own class? Type the same name in the comments of your donation as your teammates, and those will be counted together towards your goal.
• Already donated this year? Email [email protected] to have your donation included in the competition. 

Choose where you want your donation to go.

• The Research Fund supports grant funding for AUGS members and directly impacts the number of grants awarded each year.
• The ABLE Fund supports AUGS goal of raising $750,000 which will allow us to establish an additional endowed research grant that will be awarded in perpetuity.
• The Fellows Education Fund supports educational opportunities such as the Fellows Hands-on Course, Fellows Day, and other educational and networking opportunities that support the next generation of urogynecologists.
• The Patient Education Fund enables the development of resources for patients, including expanding patient fact sheet topics, and helps raise awareness of our subspecialty.  

How much should I donate?

Every contribution counts, and your participation—no matter the size—can help your class take the lead. Consider making a donation to honor your graduation year (i.e. $20.15 if you graduated in 2015).
