Honor a Mentor
Do you have a mentor, teacher, or colleague in the Retina profession who played a pivotal role in shaping your career? A tribute gift in their honor is a meaningful way to express your gratitude for the guidance and inspiration they provided.
By making a commemorative donation to the ASRS Foundation in their name, you not only celebrate their profound influence on your life but also help support the ongoing mission of the Foundation to advance the field of retina through education, research and innovation.
Your mentor will be recognized through a personal tribute featured on the ASRS website and will be formally notified of this special honor.
