SPECIAL EVENTS

Let's get together! Fun social and networking opportunities.

POURING FROM THE HEART FUNDRAISING GALA
THURSDAY • APRIL 3 • 6:30 P.M. • WESTIN HOTEL
Cost: $200/$2000

This annual "party with a purpose" provides crucial funding for our students and patients at the UMKC School of Dentistry. Proceeds raised by Pouring from the Heart will fund student-patient clinical experiences at the dental school. Each procedure helps a patient receive needed treatment, while each student gains crucial hands-on experience as they prepare to receive their degrees and serve their communities. Gifts will go to senior dental and dental hygiene students. From last year’s event proceeds we were able to award 109 $500 vouchers to 4th year dental students and 30 $200 vouchers to senior dental hygiene students. In the past three years alone, Pouring from the Heart has provided just under $150,000 in care and clinical experiences and we want to be able to do even more!

Enjoy an evening of fine food, fine wine and fine company all while supporting the students and patients of the UMKC School of Dentistry. The night would not be complete without an auction and a few fun antics. Tickets are $200 individually or $2000 for a table of 10. Sponsorships available.

Check out pictures from last year's event.
