In September 2023, NYU College of Dentistry dental hygiene students joined hundreds of participants at the
11th Annual Races for Faces walk and fundraising event, hosted by myFace.
Unfortunately, due to the weather, the event was moved to an indoor location; however, the myFace spirit still shined through even on a rainy day! Through their fundraising efforts, the NYU Dentistry dental hygiene team raised $2,313 for myFace. Read more about the event in this
press release.
myFace is a non-profit organization dedicated to changing the faces and transforming the lives of children and adults with facial differences by providing access to holistic comprehensive care, education, resources and support that pave the way for better outcomes.
