SAN FRANCISCO DENTIST DONATES EARNINGS TO UC SAN FRANCISCO

San Francisco dentist Charles Bertolami, DDS, dean of the University of California, San Francisco School of Dentistry, will donate a day’s earnings to help support UCSF School of Dentistry educational programs.

Bertolami joins about 100 UCSF School of Dentistry alumni who will be donating one day’s earnings to the school as part of the Parnassus Club’s Dental Donation Campaign.  The Parnassus Club supports School of Dentistry programs, equipment, and supplies not covered by the regular budget.  Organizers of the campaign hope to raise at least $150,000 through the effort, which would double the club’s annual intake.

In the past, Parnassus Club donations have been used to help support volunteer teachers, a dental clinic for homeless people, and equipment for student teaching.  Faculty development, community outreach activities, and newer technology also have been financed through the Parnassus Club.
