Missouri is committed to helping the AHIMA Foundation attain its goals.
We have been very busy the last couple of years coming
up with new campaigns for supporting the Foundation.
In 2005, we began the
Shooting Star program, where a donation is made to
the Foundation in the name of those individuals who have supported MoHIMA
in our endeavors.
Each year, MoHIMA
participates in the AHIMA Not-So-Silent
Auction and at our state meeting we have a silent
auction AHIMA Foundation fundraiser and Foundation donation booth.
