Program Description

Alumni, who annually contribute to the Dental Fund or have served as a Reunion Co-Chair, have the opportunity to play a critical role at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine through involvement in the Dental M Club Executive Committee. Volunteering through this initiative gives the alumna/us an opportunity to connect with fellow alumni, faculty, parents and friends in an effort to meet the fundraising goals of Tufts Dental Fund each year.

In the 2009-2010 fiscal year, almost $1.4 million was raised through the Dental Fund – the M Club Committee was responsible for almost half of that total! Committee members raise funds with an aim to increase leadership level gifts and participation while helping the school define the case for support through annual gifts to the Dental Fund.
