A Time to Give and Gather - Success!

January 2023

In December, Dentistry's festive spirit was an inspiration. Boosted by an incredibly successful bake sale, we were able to crush our fundraising target and raise over $3000 to fill "Santa Sacks" for people struggling with homelessness over the holiday season.image showing 155% of target fundraising goal

In a heartwarming update, Unity Project shared with us that two of their participants were able to secure a home for the holidays which was wonderful to hear. A huge thanks goes out to Dentistry's Social Committee for helping Dentistry be of service to our community. 

As part of the "Time to Give and Gather" theme, faculty and staff enjoyed a delicious luncheon at the Great Hall. When we returned after the holiday break, the door decorating contest turned into a celebration for everyone who participated as they enjoyed a pizza lunch in January. What a great way to combat the post-holiday blues.

The Social Committee also promoted ticket sales for The Wright Clinic's 500-Only Lottery. It's not too late to grab a ticket. There has already been a winner of $500 - you could be next!
