UTHealth Houston Anesthesiology: We're In It To Win It for the 2025 FAER Academic Giving Competition!

Join UTHealth Houston to Support the Future of Anesthesiology Research. Every Single Donation is MATCHED Dollar-for-Dollar by Dr. Sessler. Your Donation is Doubled, With NO LIMIT! Help Us Break Dr. Sessler's Bank!

We’re proud to take part in this year’s FAER Academic Giving Competition (AGC). We’re in it to WIN!

We’re proud to take part in this year’s Academic Giving Competition (AGC). Our goal is ambitious: to win both top prizes for our tier by achieving the Greatest Amount Donated and having the Greatest Number of Donors. We’re in it to WIN!

Here at UTHealth Houston, we are making huge advances in clinical research. With the recent establishment of our Institute of Perioperative Medicine and the Center for Outcomes Research, our commitment to advancing the specialty has never been stronger. Supporting FAER aligns perfectly with our mission to foster the next generation of physician-scientists who will continue this vital work.

An Offer We Can't Refuse: Dr. Sessler's Unlimited Match!
To make this competition even more exciting, Dr. Daniel Sessler has generously offered to match EVERY donation, dollar-for-dollar, with NO LIMIT! 

This is an incredible opportunity to double the impact of your gift. Your $50 donation becomes $100. Your $250 becomes $500. Let's make a real statement, show the country the incredible generosity of our department, and maybe make Dr. Sessler’s wallet just a little bit lighter!

Win prizes and treats!

Over the next week, we will be in the Sarofim operating rooms encouraging donations and bringing treats (who doesn't love a mid-day cookie?) to support the FAER Academic Giving Completition.

Win Starbucks Gift CardsTo add to the fun, we're giving back to our amazing donors! Each day of the competition, we will randomly select one lucky winner from that day's donors to receive a $20 Starbucks gift card. Your donation automatically enters you to win!

Why We're Competing
We all know the critical importance of research to our field—research that wouldn’t be possible without a steady inflow of brilliant investigators ready to move anesthesiology forward. In pursuit of that goal, FAER is essential. By donating, you help us take home the gold and win:

  • Bragging rights! 
  • A commemorative trophy! 
  • A FAER-funded party! 
  • Grand Rounds presented by a FAER leader! 

Additionally, Every dollar raised will support FAER’s work to nurture anesthesiology’s physician-investigators. Every donation, no matter the amount ($20 minimum), is truly meaningful. We are profoundly grateful for your generosity on behalf of not only our department but also our specialty and the patients we care for.

No matter the outcome, FAER’s grantees, scholars, and fellows win thanks to your support!

Thank you!
