AACO TRIBUTE DONATIONS

The American Association of Certified Orthoptists would like to celebrate, congratulate, and remember those people who have contributed to the field of Orthoptics and the AACO.  Is there an Orthoptist, a Physician or person that you feel should get recognition for their excellent work in the field? Tribute donations are 100% tax deductible and can be made anonymously to honor a person or persons or with a note that is published on the AACO website and in the biannual newsletter PRISM. The funds donated will be used for the purposes of education, research and the promotion of the field of Orthoptics  (i.e. research projects, academic materials for students, a special lecture, or other educational opportunities throughout the year).

Your thoughtful donations are greatly appreciated by the AACO and help to highlight the many special people who make Orthoptics a marvelous field.

There are two ways to make your donation. You can submit your donation online using our form below or you can download and print the form and mail it in with your donation to our home office.
