2 A signature black tie event benefiting the School of Medicine Alumni Scholarship Fund and The Free Medical Clinic SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 2019 SC STATE MUSEUM COLUMBIA, SC The Black Tie White Coat Gala is a longstanding, highly respected fundraising initiative to foster education for aspiring medical professionals, while also helping to support prevalent healthcare needs of community members from across the state. In 2002, the character of the School of Medicine student body was revealed when fourth-year medical students felt compelled to make an impact on the institution that afforded them the opportunity to become physicians by supporting student scholarships. More significantly, they identified a need for providing high quality healthcare to our Midlands citizens. Their compassion evolved into the inaugural Black Tie White Coat Gala, and a tradition was born. For the past 17 years, the student body has teamed up with the Office of Development and Alumni Relations to jointly organize the school s signature fundraiser. With almost $800,000 generated to date, the Black Tie White Coat Gala continues to support the mission of providing financial assistance to deserving students through the Alumni Scholarship Fund and to The Free Medical Clinic. We cordially invite you to support this year s gala, which is expected to attract nearly 800 alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends from the medical community in South Carolina and throughout the Southeast. Reserve your place as a sponsor for this great initiative.
