HELPING COLLEAGUES IN TEXAS

In response to VINners asking how to help colleagues struggling in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, the VIN Foundation established a fund in collaboration with the Texas Veterinary Medical Foundation (TVMF). Because VIN Foundation will pay the credit card processing fee, 100% of your donation will go directly to TVMF.

 

To donate, visit vinfoundation.org/give.
