Companion Animal Memorial Partner Program (CAMPP)
Program Overview
The Companion Animal Memorial Partner Program (CAMPP) offers a meaningful way for veterinarians to express sympathy to their clients who have lost a pet.
By making a monetary donation in memory of a client’s beloved pet, you can ensure that your client’s late companion will not be forgotten.
CAMPP supports the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) through fundraising for the school’s greatest areas of need, in alignment with the priorities of the Dean of the college. By donating to this program, your clinic can support various VMBS initiatives, including student scholarships and compassionate care funds.
Participation Forms
Participant Benefits
In affiliation with our program, your hospital or clinic will:
- be added to the VMBS email list,
- receive an annual CAMPP Impact Report,
- receive a CAMPP Participant decal to display at your office, and a digital decal to display on your website,
- support academic excellence—ensuring the future of the veterinary profession, and
- support translational research—revolutionizing animal and human health.
More importantly, CAMPP is a tangible way to show your clients that you care about them and their pets.
Previous CAMPP recipients, like Julie DeArmond, have expressed appreciation for the letter they received indicating that a donation was made by their veterinarian, saying that it demonstrates how much their veterinarian cares about them and their pets.
Babcock North Veterinary Hospital’s donation confirmed to us that they genuinely cared about Charlie, that they could see beyond his fear and anxiety and fully appreciate him.…For any future pups and their parents to have their life made a little easier because of this donation is an incredible legacy that we are so proud of.
