Alliance Background Information
The Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Foundation Alliance celebrates was created in 1993 to involve spouses, friends and allied staff of AAOMS fellows and members. It is dedicated to supporting current health and social issues related to the family, community and the specialty.
The Alliance plays a major role in the AAOMS Annual Meeting by supporting a variety of events and activities for significant others, friends and allied staff of oral and maxillofacial surgeons. During the week Alliance members participate daily at the health walk and the Alliance health issues booth, and twice a week at the hospitality suites and estate planning seminars. The annual Alliance Benefit Event held at the AAOMS Annual Meeting raises necessary funds used to support the specialty. This is a unique and exciting event that promises a rich and rewarding afternoon. Alliance events have included cooking demonstrations, fashion shows and unique tourist sites.
In addition to activities and events at the Annual Meeting, the Alliance has truly supported the oral and maxillofacial surgery specialty. In 2006, the Alliance made a $15,000 unrestricted gift to the Foundation. In 2005, the Alliance contributed $10,000 to OMSF for research, as well an additional $5,000 for the REAP program. In 2004, the Alliance gave $5,000 for the continuation of the groundbreaking Third Molar Study.
Your membership contribution of $75 per year is vital to our fundraising efforts. For more information about the Alliance, contact OMSF Executive Director Jenny Frederick at jfrederick@aaoms.org or 847-233-4325.
