The Community Service, Education and Research Fund (CSERF) is a non-profit, 501 (c) (3) organization established by the Medical Society as a vehicle to involve physicians and the larger healthcare community in community services, education, and research.

The primary programs of the Community Service, Education and Research Fund are The SPIRIT Project, and the Adopt-A-School Program which are both innovative, collaborative programs, as well as the William E. Dochterman Medical Student Scholarship Fund and the Sierra Sacramento Valley Museum of Medical History.

In October 2003 the SPIRIT and Adopt-A-School programs of CSERF were the beneficiaries of the Doctors and Lawyers Gala. This event was held at the Hyatt Regency, Sacramento and honored local Philanthropists Ernie Bodai, MD, Jack Diepenbrock, and Angelo Tsakopoulos. In addition to presentations to our honoree's, the sell-out crowd of 530 watched a short presentation about our programs, participated in a live auction that raised over $20,000, and enjoyed the musical stylings of the Rotary Rooters and danced to the Four Lawyer Band.
