 The ASOPRS Foundation fosters excellence in patient care locally, nationally, and internationally through

Past and Current Projects:

International Medical Missions
South Africa Training Program
Support for active Fellows in an ASOPRS International Fellowship Program whose purpose is to train oculofacial plastic surgeons to return to their home country to practice and disseminate their knowledge to fellow physicians.

The ASOPRS Foundation is pleased to report that we participated in #GivingTuesdayNow, a global day of unity and giving. We  initiated a campaign to solicit donations from you, our members, so that the Foundation could direct 100% of your contributions and then match every dollar for dollar, up to $5000, to support the emergency COVID-19 responses of Partners In Health and the CDC Foundation.  The giving period ended June 1st.  We are overwhelmed that we raised $7,950 for this campaign and matched it with our $5,000 pledge and awarded $6,475.00 to each of our partners for a total of $12,950.00:

Partners in Healtha Boston-based organization that supports the most vulnerable and disproportionately affected countries with weak health systems around the world; and

The CDC Foundationan independent nonprofit that mobilizes philanthropic and private-sector resources to support critical health protection work including funding of medical supplies and PPE, increasing lab capacity, deploying emergency staffing to public health agencies, building infrastructure for global response efforts, and boosting clinical research to improve health outcomes.

 Thank you!


Summary of Grant Awarded to Evan Black, MD and Robert Beaulieu, MD

Please click here to read the post-trip remarks of Dr. Beaulieu accompanied by unique photos taken during their deliverance of medical care to this third world country. One of the stipulations attached to the grant was that Dr. Beaulieu report back on the accomplishments and limitations of this mission to show his colleagues and rising oculoplastic physicians his awareness of the need for international service and encourage the involvement of our peers.
