Dear Friend of University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry:

In celebration of University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry's 75th anniversary, we would like to share a unique advertising opportunity to market directly with the dental community while showing your strong support for UDM School of Dentistry Corktown Campus.

This year, the UDM School of Dentistry will be offering premier advertising and event sponsorship opportunities for your company to be showcased at the 75th Anniversary Gala hosted at the newly renovated Detroit Institute of Arts on Friday, April 18, 2008. This elegant black-tie optional event promises to be a unique and lavish evening for 300 attendees including gallery viewing, a cocktail reception, dinner, and entertainment by Ed Kelly & Company. Through our marketing efforts, a portion of the Gala expenses will be underwritten by the generosity of local UDM supporters, local businesses, and alumni participating and supporting this celebration.

As one of UDM School of Dentistry's preferred business partners, we are confident your organization will want to benefit by taking part in the variety of unique marketing opportunities and benefits. Three main advertising options are available -- display advertising in our event program book, event sponsorship for gala activities, and a corporate table purchase.

Display Advertisements will highlight your company, or be congratulatory in nature from your class, association, or family. Event Sponsorships will underwrite a segment of the gala evening including a pre-dinner cocktail reception, entertainment, valet parking, special champagne toast, and a keepsake anniversary program book. Corporate Tables can be purchased to advertise your business and provide group seating for ten people.

The UDM School of Dentistry is Michigan's premier private dental school. Our mission is to provide dental, dental hygiene, and post-graduate students with an excellent education. With a strong community outreach program, we also offer inter-city programs for those in need of dental care in the city of Detroit including the surrounding metropolitan area. With a strong emphasis on community outreach services including "Give Kids a Smile Day", UDM Safety Street, in-school presentations on dental care designed for children, oral cancer screenings, and tobacco cessation programs in our city, the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry Corktown Campus strives to make a difference in the urban community.

Thank you in advance for your review and consideration. If you have any questions regarding advertising opportunities, please contact Moira Mahoney, Director of Alumni Relations and Communications at
(313) 494-6848, or Jackie Elliott, Asst. Director of Annual Giving at (313) 494-6850 directly.
