The Webster Society: Industry Memberships 


Twenty-one years ago, members of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS) and friends of the Cosmetic Surgery field came together to form the Cosmetic Surgery Foundation (CSF) and the Webster Society giving level.  

Named in honor of one of the founders of the AACS, Dr. Richard Webster, the Webster Society recognizes industry contributors who make annual leadership gifts of $5,000 or more.

The Webster Society helps the CSF to achieve its goals through funding research, educational programming, and other training initiatives, all to expand our knowledge base and elevate awareness within the AACS membership, the medical community, and the public at large. 

To date, the Foundation has given over $1,500,000 in grants and awards to individuals and to education activities of the AACS. 

All sponsorships to the CSF and the Webster Gala are acknowledged in our publications and on our website, and with our sincerest thanks. And through our 501(c)(3) IRS status, all contributions are tax-deductible.


Webster Society contribution benefits include:

• Two tickets to the Webster Society Gala Donor Event 
• Recognition on the Annual Meeting website
