Thank you, Cathy, for sharing your experience with Dr. Robert Wagner and for mentioning the new IFC Ferret Medical Research Fund. This is some more preliminary information about this IFC fund. Further information, including a PayPal donation address will be forthcoming. The International Ferret Congress is pleased to collect funds for ferret medical research being done by Dr. Wagner and Dr. Kiupel. The IFC will be presenting checks to both Dr. Robert Wagner and Dr. Matti Kiupel at the Phoenix Symposium in June. You may write your check and designate it to the vet of your choice or ask the amount be split between the two. THE IFC WILL MATCH THE DONATIONS COLLECTED UP TO $1500! I am happy to accept checks or money orders on behalf of the IFC and you will receive a receipt for your donation which is tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. While donations with a "thank you" appearing in the Phoenix event program are limited to an April 30th deadline you are still welcome to send your donations right up until May 30th. Please make checks to the International Ferret Congress (IFC) and mail to me at: Sharon Bearden, IFC 1245 Curtis Switch Rd Mineral Bluff, GA 30559 Please mark if the funds are for Dr. Wagner or Dr. Kiupel or split between the two. Also please mention if you would like to be listed on the donors page. You can have either your name listed, or list the name a beloved furkid as a memorial to him or her. Any amount is appreciated and will receive a listing. If you would like to remember multiple furkids why not think about donating $5, $10, or more for each little one. Each of these vets is doing life saving work which all fuzzies can benefit from. This is your chance to thank Dr. Wagner and Dr. Kiupel and help them continue this important research. If you need more information or have questions please contact me. Thank you on behalf of the International Ferret Congress Sharon Bearden, Fundraising Coordinator http://www.ferretcongress.org/ [Posted in FML 6976]
