Description

Support Latinx Pre-Dental Students!

The Latinx Pre-Dental Society at UC Berkeley is dedicated to empowering Latinx students in dentistry by providing culturally competent mentorship, educational resources, leadership opportunities, and service initiatives rooted in equity and justice. Our team includes undergraduate students of all backgrounds who form a collaborative, inclusive community built on sharing ideas, resources, and creating memorable experiences together. We aim to build a nationwide network of Latinx pre-dental students who are proud of their roots, prepared for dental school, and passionate about transforming oral healthcare.

Our fundraising project will make an impactful difference by providing pre-dental students with the professional resources, clinical preparation, and networking opportunities that will shape their future careers. Your support will directly fund critical supplies for our community service projects. We are deeply committed to breaking down barriers to care and promoting vital dental hygiene education within our local underserved communities. By supporting our cause, you are investing in a more diverse dental workforce and actively improving community health.

If we exceed our goal: Any excess funds raised will be used to expand our community outreach initiatives and purchase additional preventative oral health supplies for families in need.

If we do not meet our goal: If we fall short of our fundraising goal, we will ensure every dollar counts. Funds raised will still be strictly allocated to support our Pre-Dental Club’s essential educational and community initiatives. This includes securing future fundraisers, baseline dental education supplies, and core materials for our local outreach events.
