Class Legacy Invitation
Dear Esteemed Leaders of the Medical Classes,
Warm greetings from the UST Medical Alumni Association of America (USTMAAA)! As dedicated alumni, we share a profound connection to our alma mater, the University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Medicine and Surgery. Our collective experiences, education, and shared memories have shaped us into the professionals we are today.
We write to you with great enthusiasm and a vision for creating a lasting legacy. Our beloved UST hospital, a beacon of healing and hope, faces ongoing challenges. The demand for quality healthcare services is unceasing, and our commitment to supporting our alma mater remains unwavering.
Class Legacy Initiative: A Call to Action
We invite each class to establish its unique legacy by rallying classmates to contribute to a meaningful cause. Let us channel our collective efforts toward projects that directly benefit the UST Faculty of Medicine or the UST hospital. By doing so, we can make a tangible impact on patient care, medical research, and infrastructure development.
How Can You Contribute?
Fundraising: Encourage your fellow alumni to contribute financially. Every contribution counts whether through individual donations, class reunions, or creative fundraising events. Our goal is to raise a substantial amount that will leave a lasting mark.
Project Selection: Each class can earmark its funds for specific projects. Whether it’s upgrading medical equipment, supporting scholarships, or enhancing patient facilities, your class can choose a cause close to your hearts.
USTMAAA and Foundation: To ensure transparency and tax efficiency, we recommend channeling these funds through the USTMAAA during the convention which will then be passed through the Foundation which is a 501©(3) entity. The foundation will manage the funds and ensure they are used effectively for the chosen projects.
Recognition and Celebration
Your class’s commitment will not go unnoticed. During the 32nd USTMAAA Grand Reunion in Chicago, we will proudly acknowledge each class’s contributions. Our souvenir program will highlight the projects funded by your class, immortalizing your legacy within our community.
Together, We Can Make a Difference
Let us honor our shared journey by leaving a positive impact. Reach out to your classmates, ignite their passion, and let the spirit of volunteerism guide us. Our alma mater deserves nothing less.
Thank you for your unwavering dedication to USTMAAA and our beloved UST. Together, we can create a brighter future for generations to come.
With heartfelt regards,
Dr. Stella Evangelista and Dr. Zita Yorro, Convention Co-Chairpersons
Dr. Maria Regina Flores, USTMAAA Foundation President
