Dugoni School of Dentistry’s “Kids in the Klinic” Golf Classic Raises Money for Children's Dental Care

Posted on Thursday, November 2, 2017

20th annual event brings in more than $100,000 in new funding for the Kids in the Klinic Endowment at University of the Pacific’s Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry

University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry's 20th annual Kids in the Klinic Golf Classic recently attracted nearly 200 golfers, alumni, volunteers, celebrities and corporate sponsors for a day of fun on the course for a good cause. Held Oct. 16 at The Olympic Club in San Francisco, the event benefits oral health care for underserved children who otherwise would not be able to afford it.

This year's tournament netted more than $100,000 in new support for the school's Kids in the Klinic Endowment through funds raised at the golf event and a matching gift provided by University of the Pacific's Powell Fund. Over the last 20 years, the event has generated funding to grow the endowment to more than $2.5 million in total today.

The Kids in the Klinic program helps underserved children throughout Northern California. Hundreds of children each year receive care at the Dugoni School's Hutto Patterson Pediatric Clinic and Redmond Family Orthodontic Clinic, with nearly $100,000 in free and reduced-cost care afforded through Kids in the Klinic.

This year's event featured a $5K putting challenge, $1M hole-in-one-shootout, and a cocktail hour followed by a raffle drawing and live and silent auctions. Other fun on-course activities included long-drive and closest-to-the-pin challenges. Long drive entertainers Rob Oristaglio and Patrick Bakerjian and members of the Golden State Warriors Dance Team were among the special guests on the course to entertain and engage with players.

Other special guests included famed football quarterback Jim Plunkett, KTVU Channel 2 sports director Mark Ibanez, saxophone star Mike Phillips performing with Yoshi's house band, Golden State Warriors hype man Franco Finn, former Warriors star Adonal Foyle, and numerous Warriors Dance Team members, among other guests.

The winning foursome on the Lake Course was Chris Carey, Kelsey Jo Holsten, Robert Huff, and Chris Musson, representing the Pebble Beach Golf Academy. The winning team on the Ocean Course was Kayvon Raissi, Mark Watson, and Marcus Watson.

“The Kids in the Klinic Endowment is a powerful source of funding to support care to underserved children throughout our region. Some of the care is very complex and the endowment provides a lifeline to children and families who may not have the means for care,” said Dr. Nader A. Nadershahi, dean of the Dugoni School of Dentistry. “Tooth decay is one of the most prevalent chronic health issues in the country today and untreated dental disease can compromise a child's ability to eat well, sleep well and function well at school and at home. We thank everyone who was involved in our 20th annual Kids in the Klinic Golf Classic for helping to raise awareness and funding to support this cause.”

This year's event sponsors included NBC Bay Area; Nob Hill Gazette; San Francisco Media Company; hope & grace winery; Tiret & Company; Align Technology; Bittner Family Dental Group, Kristi Swimmer, DDS and Mark Swimmer, DDS; Heritage Bank of Commerce; Patterson Dental; Kavo Kerr; Mitchell & Mitchell Insurance Agency; California Bank of Commerce, Nava Fathi, DDS; Pacific Dental Services; Arthur A.

Oral Health America Announces $50,000 Challenge Grant from Ivoclar Vivadent

Posted on Wednesday, November 1, 2017

Oral Health America (OHA) has received a $50,000 challenge grant from Ivoclar Vivadent in support of its Older Adult campaign, Leading by Living.

A part of OHA’s Campaign for Oral Health Equity, which educates the public about the critical relationship between good oral health and good overall health while stimulating action by communities regarding their oral health, Leading by Living challenges older adults to lead healthy lives through healthier mouths.

With one out of every four 65-year-old expected to live past age 90, education about self-care and aging in place (remaining in one’s home) is of utmost importance. Older adults educate those around them just by being; this campaign seeks to explore that role and those relationships while teaching the importance of oral health to overall health.

“We are grateful for Ivoclar Vivadent’s continued support to Oral Health America,” said Beth Truett, President & CEO of Oral Health America. “Thanks to their commitment to older adults and their caregivers through Leading by Living as well as OHA’s Wisdom Tooth Project®, we are fulfilling our mission of elevating health literacy for older Americans through our Toothwisdom.org website, our Tooth Wisdom®: Get Smart About Your Mouth community workshops and through community demonstration projects, to which Ivoclar has been committed for more than seven years.”

Ivoclar Vivadent’s challenge grant affords OHA the opportunity to double the impact of their gift by generating a total of $100,000 in this year-end season of giving. This opportunity will be open to donors throughout the campaign which runs throughout November and December.As well as being a longtime sponsor of all of OHA programs and the Annual Gala and Benefit, Ivoclar has taken a particular interest in furthering the development OHA’s Wisdom Tooth Project, which aims to change the lives of older adults especially vulnerable to oral disease.
