INVEST | MD White Coat & Stethoscope Campaign Results

We aimed for the fences with this one, and you helped us hit a home run!

In addition to our annual White Coat Campaign, we added stethoscopes to the sponsorship, allowing alumni to not only fund our students' first white coats, but also their first tools in medicine. In four weeks, 104 donors rallied together to raise $19,210 and provide these symbolic icons for the MD Class of 2027. Tomorrow, Friday, Sept. 29, just minutes before their White Coat Ceremony, students will learn of their sponsors and read their notes of encouragement.

We are blown away by the generosity of our alumni family and can't thank you enough!
