Thank you for your support of the 30th Annual SIU SDM Prophy Cup Challenge Golf Tournament!
30th Annual Prophy Cup Challenge Golf Tournament
We truly appreciate your support of the Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine and our 30th Annual SIU SDM Prophy Cup Challenge Golf Tournament. It is fitting that our 30th golf outing was hosted as the School celebrates 50 Years – 50 years of graduating outstanding dentists! The Class of 2025 represents our 50th class of graduates!
The SIU SDM Prophy Cup Challenge, now celebrating 30 years, has become an institution in its own right. Each year, alumni, faculty, students, residents, staff and friends of SIU SDM get together to play a round of golf in support of worthwhile cause. This year, as in recent years, proceeds from the golf tournament will be dedicated to our faculty recruitment and retention efforts at the School.
Truly, your generosity and support will allow us to continue to pursue and retain faculty members with a passion for helping our students excel in the classrooms, labs and clinics at SIU SDM. Your contribution genuinely helps ensure that our tradition of excellence in dental education continues and that our graduates continue to be well-positioned to become local, state and national leaders in this esteemed profession.
Thank you again for supporting the 30th Annual Prophy Cup Challenge and thank you for your support of the School, our students and our faculty. .
