UW Dental Alumni had their 26th Annual Golf Tournament on Friday, Sept. 11 at Washington National Golf Course. Pierce County Dental Society co-sponsored the tournament once again. The event had 70 participants, plus a few vendors, and it was a beautiful, sunny day.

The team of Sam Hinz, Raymond Kao, Jason West and Troy Kelly won the tournament. Chris Cahoon won the long drive and Ryan MacNamara won the Closest to the Pin. The tournament concluded with a nice BBQ dinner and awards.

The UW Dental Alumni Association held a successful football brunch on Saturday before the Utah State-UW game.

Dr. Garret Yamaguchi ('08) was the MC. Dr. Brendan Lopez ('16), a former Husky football player and graduate of the dental school, was the honorary football guest. The event was a full house featuring great food and beverages, a jazz band, and a fun Husky raffle.

The Class of 2001 had four classmates in attendance to enjoy the event together. Nakanishi Dental Lab, PDS Health, and WDIA co-sponsored the event. Thankfully, UW pulled out a tough 16-14 win to cap off the day.

Back when Dean André Ritter visited Eastern Washington in the spring, he saw the impact RIDE fourth-year students were making in the local communities.

Now many of those students are out working in those same clinics they trained in, furthering and strengthening their relationships with the community members, delivering oral healthcare, and fulfilling RIDE’s mission.
