Adam's Baton Fund
AACSN learned the passing of a young man named Adam Chang in early 2010. We were deeply touched when we read Adam’s eulogy written by his mother Maria Chen. It moved us so much that the AACSN board decided they wanted 
to start the Adam’s Baton Fund. AACSN wishes  this fund will help patients who want to leave a legacy through funds we set aside to make their last wishes come to true. To contact us on this, please email.
