Not so long ago, the University of Nebraska Foundation was given a $250,000 gift commitment by The Ameritas Group (a division of Ameritas Life Insurance Corporation). The money was destined for the establishment of a permanent endowment in support of the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) College of Dentistry. The fund is also known to provide financial support every year, for "research focused on preventing, detecting and treating oral cancer."
"This gift is another outstanding example of Ameritas' strong commitment to improving education at the College of Dentistry and improving the health of people in Nebraska and beyond," said Dr. John Reinhardt, Dean of the UNMC College of Dentistry. "We're delighted to accept this generous support, which will significantly strengthen our developing oral cancer research and educational activities."
This gift augments approximately 10 years of philanthropic support for the UNMC College of Dentistry from Ameritas. Past endowments from Ameritas Life Insurance Corporation have given incredible finances in order to help underwrite the college's annual Dental Day for children.
"This is a natural partnership," said VanCleave. "We completely support the college's research, and have no doubt that our investment in this program will lead to improvements in oral cancer prevention and treatment."
