Benefiting Special Olympics Colorado!

Join the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine’s annual ASDAsh 5K to Beat Tooth Decay! This year, all of the proceeds will be donated to our campus community to fund the Generations Program.
The Generations Fund was started by a former CU dental student, Dr. John Raabe, whose father was also a dentist. Dr. Raabe and his father donated money back to the school many years ago with the original purpose of helping mentor students through the care of senior patients. This initial donation became a promising way to provide seniors with some financial help to make them “whole” again. With Dr. Raabe’s success, they were able to continue this mentoring program, now called the Generations Fund. Every year, this fund affords dental care to many elderly seniors at the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine.
