Dear Foundation Friends:

As the President of the Cosmetic Surgery Foundation and on behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank you for your continued support of our growing organization. We greatly appreciate the generosity that our physician and corporate stakeholders have shown, and are grateful that so many people have entrusted us with their contributions. Whether it is through a gift to the 25 for 25 Campaign, Vision of Tomorrow Campaign, the Annual Fund, the Legacy Society, or a Silent Auction donation—your consideration of the Foundation has led to our success.

In last year alone, individual contributions totaled over $175,000 from generous and loyal AACS members. Industry and specialty societies reinforced physician support by providing an additional $325,000 to further our education, research, and patient safety initiatives. As we close an economically challenging 2009, with your support, we look forward to a brighter and healthier 2010—a year that marks the 10th Anniversary of the CSF.

We continue to deeply value your confidence in the Academy, the Foundation and your support of the vision we hold in common for the vibrant future of cosmetic surgery.

Suzan Obagi, MD
CSF President
