The Bryan and Renae Cobb Fellowship Fund The past year has been a strong one for the Department’s development activities and your generosity has been and continues to be the fuel that helps drive excellence in so many of our programs. So let me begin by saying thank you and thank you. I’ll bring you up-to-date on several exciting events. The Vann Fund is now over the $300,000 mark of funds collected and Bryan Cobb (1979) and his wife Renae have established a fund in their names with an initial gift of $50,000. Bryan plans to take the fund to over $200,000 with donations and a legacy gift in his will. The Bryan and Renae Cobb Fellowship will provide support to the graduate program. Bryan sets another example of legacy giving that will support graduate education in Pediatric Dentistry for perpetuity. To date the following individuals that have given or have planned legacy gifts from their estate: Bryan Cobb (1979), Jim Congleton, (1977) Bobby Elliott (1998), Mike and Sandra Roberts, Mary Jean Breeland, Bill Vann (1976), and Willie Demeritt. Legacy gifts can be for any amount, can always be changed over the course of your lifetime, and there are many different mechanisms for establishing planned giving. I hope all of you are consider- ing and will adopt this easy and totally painless way to have your name or loved one’s name be remembered and attached to a legacy that helps support excellence in Pediatric Dentistry at UNC.
