THINK OF ALL THE TIMES YOU'VE TURNED TO IAC FOR HELP—NOW,
IAC IS TURNING TO YOU
Through more than six years of publishing "IAC EXPRESS" and
415 issues, we've never asked subscribers for contributions.
Now we need to.
Since we began operating 13 years ago, the staff of the
Immunization Action Coalition has had thousands of face-to-face,
phone, and email conversations with members of the immunization
and viral hepatitis communities. You've told us what you need
from us, and we've had the privilege of responding by providing
you with a phenomenal range of information:
- practical staff- and patient-education materials you can
download and print
- links to current research on immunization and hepatitis issues,
accessible on our four websites
- up-to-the-minute news, including changes in federal and
professional society immunization recommendations, via our two
email newsletters
- extension of immunization information to hundreds of thousands
of practitioners through our three major periodicals
- phone consultations with you about your immunization scheduling
and administration questions
Funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and
corporate sponsors has helped our efficient, hardworking staff of
twelve meet your diverse information needs. Unfortunately, today's
economy has led some of our corporate partners to cut back on
support to nonprofits. WE NOW NEED YOUR SUPPORT TO HELP US CONTINUE
TO HELP YOU.
Though we will be cheered on by a contribution of any amount,
your tax-deductible contribution of $25, $50, $75, or more will
help us substantially.
To make a credit card contribution online, go to:
https://www.immunize.org/join
To contribute by check, mail us at Immunization Action Coalition,
1573 Selby Ave., Ste. 234, St. Paul, MN 55104.
IAC is an efficient, well-run organization. For information
about our finances, read our IRS Form 900 online at

IAC's work, go to:

WE THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS!
The twelve of us who staff IAC extend our thanks to you, our
subscribers, readers, email correspondents, order placers,
phone friends, and contributors. Figuring out how to meet your
needs for reliable immunization and viral hepatitis information
has been and continues to be stimulating, challenging, and
deeply rewarding. We know we can depend on your generosity to
support us in this important work.

FEDERAL AND MILITARY EMPLOYEES: HELP IAC BY USING AGENCY
CODE 0233 WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR COMBINED FEDERAL CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTION
Federal and military employees have an easy, hassle-free option
for contributing to IAC—the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC).
Each fall, federal and military employees are allowed to make
contributions to charities of their choice through CFC. More than
1.3 million federal and military employees participated in the
2002 campaign, contributing $236.8 million.
By filling out a CFC pledge card (available through your local
campaign volunteers), you can contribute to IAC by cash, check,
or payroll deduction. If you would like to contribute to us,
please enter our four-digit agency code, 0233, and a dollar
amount on your 2003 CFC pledge card. To our knowledge, IAC is
the only immunization-specific organization approved to receive
contributions through CFC.
We would like to thank each of you personally for your
contribution; to do that, we need you to check off the boxes on
the pledge card that permit CFC to send us your name and contact
information.
For more information about CFC, go to: http://www.opm.gov/cfc
