We invite our Past-Presidents, Board Members, Award Winners, Fellows, and most dedicated supporters to join the American School Health Association (ASHA) Century Club. Founded under the leadership of Dr. Larry Olsen, the Century Club is a prestigious circle of donors dedicated to celebrating 100 years of transforming schools into places where every student thrives. This is more than a donation—it is a commitment to the next century of school health. Strategic Growth: 100% of Century Club contributions will remain untouched for 10 years, allowing the fund to grow and collect interest. Empowering the Next Generation: Starting at the 110th Annual ASHA Conference, the income from this endowment will begin exclusively sponsoring student attendance.
