ASA-Lifebox Resident Challenge

An annual fundraising competition bringing anesthesiology residency programs together to help expand access to essential anesthesia monitoring equipment and training.

The 2026 Challenge is underway!

Through October 18, 2026, residency teams are raising funds to help provide pulse oximeters, capnographs, and training that empower anesthesia providers to keep patients safe throughout surgery.

Whether you’re competing as a residency team or supporting your program with a donation, you’re helping make safe surgery possible for more patients, everywhere.

The 2026 Challenge winner will be announced October 19 at the ASA Annual Meeting.
