Student Voices: Building a Culture of Philanthropy

Hello,

We are Hira and Sonia, students at the Faculty of Dentistry and are excited about today – National Philanthropy Day! You may have seen us in the Faculty’s recent Defy Gravity fundraising campaign video.

National Philanthropy Day celebrates the extraordinary change that donations help create in our world!

The continued support of our generous community, has enriched our dentistry education and continues to support future generations of oral health care professionals.  THANK YOU!

We hope that you will join us today in celebrating the impact that you and our donor community has had on our lives through education. We invite you to participate in our Defy Gravity programming this week on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and our website.

We also invite you to hear from Mark S. and Dr. Stokl about why community is at the center of Defy Gravity:

Philanthropic support has enhanced many of our learning spaces and brought world-class education to our fingertips—so that we can be ready for the future.

It has helped foster incredible research that is making a difference in the lives of countless people around the globe.

And it has ensured that our patients have the access they deserve to excellent oral health care.

U of T Dentistry is an amazing place and we are grateful to you for your support of our education.

We both look forward to joining the incredible U of T alumni community and driving the mission of the school forward. Sincerely, thank you.

Warmly,

Hira and Sonia
