Team APMA kicked off its annual 5K Run/Walk at The

generosity, the event raised more than $10,000. More than
250 participants registered for the event, including the sleep-in
category. Listed below are the top three female and male runners and walkers.

The 2017 Podiatry Management Hall of Fame Luncheon.

Be on the lookout for details on next year's Podiatry Management Hall of Fame.
Podiatry Management's Hall of Fame luncheon was created
to recognize a podiatrist's and a non-podiatrist's accomplishments in the podiatric medical profession. This award is unique
in that recipients are not selected by a committee, but by American podiatrists who complete Podiatry Management's annual
survey, which appears in August and September on www.
podiatrym.com.
If you missed any of the activities at this year's meeting and
would like to contribute to the foundation now by making
your year-end tax-deductible donation, read on to learn how
you can contribute. Your support of $100 or more will make a
difference for our students and provide the funding needed
for the foundation to continue its efforts to advance podiatric
medical education.
