Donate to the Dental Hygiene Program
Building a workforce to meet the need
Shoreline Community College and the University of Washington School of Dentistry have formed a partnership to sustain and expand dental hygiene education.
The ARCORA Foundation donated $1 million outright and an additional $500,000 matching grant in support of that goal. Now comes the challenge of raising the additional $500,000 from oral health champions and advocates throughout the state.
The clock is ticking. We have until midnight, Dec. 31, 2021, to meet this challenge and deliver a $2 million boost to dental hygiene education.
Your donation will make a difference!
