Make a Gift: Instrumenting the Future: Cassette Tag Program

Your legacy, their future

At Detroit Mercy Dental, our students care for patients using instrument cassettes checked in and out of the dispensary all day, every day. These cassettes hold the instruments that train our students and treat our patients—and now they can also carry a powerful message of generosity, pride and connection. Gifts to the Instrumenting the Future: Cassette Tag Program will go into a scholarship fund supporting dental and dental hygiene students.

Alumni, faculty, staff, families and friends can have their names, or the name of someone they wish to honor, engraved on a cassette used in our clinics. Each tagged cassette reminds students that an entire community supports them: people who understand the long days in the clinic, trips to the dispensary and the commitment to caring for patients. Your generosity will literally be in our students’ hands, fostering pride and gratitude while upholding our legacy of outstanding clinical experience and service.

Each tagged cassette will:

• Foster a culture of giving among our students, reminding them daily that others are investing in their future.
• Give visible recognition to students, faculty, staff and patients at the School of Dentistry.
• Ensure ongoing student success with an endowed scholarship fund.

In a time of uncertainty around student loans, borrowing limits and the rising cost of education, your support is more important than ever. A gift to the Cassette Tag Program helps ensure that financial need does not stand between a talented student and their ability to learn, serve and lead.

How it works:

• Make a $250 gift to the Instrumenting the Future: Cassette Tag Program by completing the online form.
• Once we receive your gift, you will get a link to customize your engraving with your name and class year, or the name of someone you wish to honor. Note: Each tag has a maximum of 20 characters (including spaces) per line, two line total.

Help us put a legacy of giving into every student’s hands. Your generosity today will support Detroit Mercy Dental students and the patients they serve for generations to come.
