“Emory University is internationally recognized for its experience in infectious disease treatment and research. The Emory COVID-19 Impact Fund provides resources to further protect and support the heroic Emory caregivers working on the front line, and advance in lifesaving research in new treatments, preventions, and cures.” 

 ~ Rich Escoffery, ACS General Counsel and Emory Alumnus

ACS employees have an opportunity to contribute to Emory’s COVID-19 Impact Fund which provides life-saving medical equipment and devices to treat patients stricken with COVID-19 and advance research into diagnostic testing and cures. The Fund accelerates efforts to conquer the novel coronavirus and supports critical health care needs.

To leverage participation, ACS will provide up to $5,000 to match gifts from ACS employees. Recognizing that our combined efforts yield greater benefits, the match will double the impact of employees’ gifts to the Emory COVID-19 Impact Fund.
