At the end of each year, we like to take a moment to reflect on how grateful we are to count all of you, our generous donors, as our loyal UAB friends. With your support and partnership we are accomplishing great things.    

The generosity of our donors has helped UAB take the arts into Birmingham neighborhoods and communities, create exceptional academic programs that brought more students from around the world to Birmingham, remain at the forefront of medical research and treatment, sponsor students with scholarships, expand and improve our facilities, and support our mission in countless other ways. All of these accomplishments were possible because you, our supporters, chose to invest in UAB, and with your continued help we can achieve even greater things.

There are many ways to support our mission. In addition to outright gifts and pledges, estate planning may be an option for your philanthropic goals. I encourage you to explore our new Web site dedicated to charitable planning at www.uab.edu/plannedgiving.

On behalf of all of us at UAB, please accept my sincere appreciation for your continued investment in our students, faculty, researchers, physicians, and nurses. We are thankful for all our donors. You make a difference every day. 

Gratefully,

Shirley Salloway Kahn, Ph.D.

Vice President for Development, Alumni and External Affairs
