MEDQUEST
FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN
Our current funding sources cannot keep pace with the number of youth who want to attend MedQuest. Word is getting out about this great opportunity for high school youth to explore health careers in a safe, action packed, educational environment. It is our aim to maintain the high standards of MedQuest while growing to meet the need. While the family cost of basic MedQuest is $350 for one week and Advanced MedQuest $450, it costs Southern Vermont AHEC $1,500 to provide this experience to one student. An investment in MedQuest will help ensure that MedQuest is there for youth in every southern Vermont community in the summer of 2009 and beyond. Our goal is to raise $60,000 by March 2009. Please give as generously as you can afford. If you or your organization would like donate or learn more about MedQuest, please contact Nancy Lanoue at 802-885-2126 or nlanoue@svahec.org
