OREF & ORS - a model for success Through 2008, OREF’s designated giving program has generated more than $440,000 to support ORS’ research and education agenda.  In 2008, the ORS-OREF Distinguished Investigator Award was introduced in honor of the many ORS M.D. and Ph.D. members who, assisted by OREF grants and awards, have advanced the science and practice of orthopaedics. Please help OREF and ORS continue our partnership of support for the researchers who are reshaping orthopaedics. Support ORS through OREF today.   All gifts of $1,000 or more to the OREF Annual Campaign earn Order of Merit recognition and the opportunity to direct a portion to Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS).  Those giving $2,500 or more qualify for VIP Housing privileges at the next AAOS Annual Meeting.  Please give generously to advance the science and practice of orthopaedics.     Ready to consider a major gift to permanently fund research and education for future generations?
