Friends of Raed: Celebrate & Support Science! I will match every dollar you donate to this campaign!
I will match every dollar you donate to this campaign through Dec. 31, 2026!
Dear ATS colleagues and friends,
As ATS President, I invite you to join me this year to celebrate and support science, protect progress, and advance discovery. Your commitment has never mattered more.
Science is how we turn questions into cures, data into action, and discovery into longer, healthier lives. It is the foundation for every new treatment, every improved diagnostic tool, and every prevention strategy that helps the world breathe. When we celebrate and invest in science, we invest in hope for patients now, and for future generations. Investing in science will help us take better care of the patients of today and the patients of tomorrow.
Your donation to the Friends of Raed: Celebrate and Support Science! initiative goes directly to the ATS Research Program. Since its inception, the ATS Research Program has supported more than 400 grants totaling more than $26M. Thanks to your support last year, we funded 12 research awards totaling approximately $800,000. We can do more!
I hope you will join me and donate to Friends of Raed: Celebrate and Support Science!
I will match every dollar you donate to this campaign through December 31, 2026!
Thank you,
Raed
