2011 Annual Recognition Dinner

Each year during Scientific Assembly, the AAFP Foundation hosts a special dinner for its most dedicated donors during which it presents two special Foundation awards, as well as the AAFP Outstanding Service Award.

The 2011 Annual Recognition Dinner was held at SeaWorld. Guests experienced SeaWorld’s Wild Arctic Exhibit featuring polar bears, Beluga whales and walruses– all in their natural habitat, followed by dinner at Ports of Call.

Congratulations to the AAFP Foundation award winners! Each year at the Annual Recognition Dinner the Foundation gives out two special awards– Philanthropist of the Year and the Outstanding Program Award.
