We’re still a few months away from the Vascular Spectacular Gala at VAM, but excitement is growing concurrently with the list of items contributed to the event's live and silent auctions. You’ll definitely leave VAM with new professional connections and inspiration, but perhaps you’ll also take home a one-week stay in Camden, Maine. Or maybe you’ll be anticipating a new charbroiled oyster kit, vouchers to one of the nation's best botanical gardens, jewelry or free registration for next year’s VAM. These are just a few of the items our generous donors have added to our growing list. If you can't make it to the gala or VAM, you can still join in on the fun by donating an item or bidding online. All gala proceeds benefit the SVS Foundation.
