The NetWorks Challenge 2021 is kicking off in July with a 25k to celebrate the Foundation’s 25th anniversary. This year, we’re asking each NetWork to participate in a physical challenge, virtually. Make your way to 25k by walking, running, biking – or any activity that suits you.
Through the challenge, you can engage in friendly competition while supporting the goals of the Foundation. This year, money raised will directly help us in addressing health disparities through our microgrants program and will support travel grants for doctors-in-training looking to attend CHEST 2021.
With your help, by participating in the NetWorks Challenge, we can fund grants that aim to lend a hand to those who need it the most. Expanding research capabilities, improving patient care, and giving access to medical equipment are just a few ways microgrants from the CHEST Foundation have been used in the past.
Salim Surani, MD, MSc, FCCP, is a long-time supporter of the NetWorks Challenge and the Foundation’s grants program. “Whatever the Foundation pays in terms of grants and awards not only impacts the recipient but also the community as a whole ... For me, it was a no-brainer to get involved in an organization that actually raises funding to support community, education, and research,” Dr. Surani said.
With your support, during the NetWorks Challenge, we can provide grants to more clinicians looking to make a difference in chest medicine.
Encourage your NetWork members to join you this summer in the race to 25k.
“When you work within the NetWorks and join together, and work along with the CHEST Foundation, the impact is much more powerful. I always believed that it is a privilege for us that we have the outlet at the CHEST Foundation to provide grants,” Dr. Surani said.
