VDF is celebrating its 10th Anniversary!

The Vascular Disease Foundation (VDF) is celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2008! VDF was founded by Dennis Newman as a result of a life changing experience (read the whole story in VDF's Winter newsletter). Help us Celebrate!

Here are 10 Ways to Celebrate!

  1. Become a member of VDF! Our goal is 10,000 new members in 2008!
  2. Attend our first national community celebration on August 15 in Denver, CO.
  3. Support our fundraising goal of reaching $1,000,000! Donate $10 or a multiple of $10 and get a special commemorative ten-year anniversary pin
  4. Promote the Stay in Circulation campaign: wear an awareness pin, or display a static-cling sticker in your car, office, or home during National PAD Awareness Month in September.
  5. Start a community alliance.
  6. Start a local support group.
  7. Listen to our “Ask the Doctor” Live Chat each month.
  8. Buy a pin, necktie, t-shirt or other VDF or P.A.D. Coalition item to proudly wear.
  9. Become a “Step Steward.” Join our virtual walk/run program that lets you walk or run at your own pace and raise awareness about vascular disease in your community.
  10. Share your story with VDF! It might be selected to be used in our newsletter or on our Web site.
