1,000 Friends
of NCNM
Joseph Pizzorno, ND (Class of 1975), doctor of laws honorus causa, is cofounder and president emeritus of Bastyr University. An acclaimed author, his international leadership in naturopathic medical education has significantly advanced the profession. We gratefully acknowledge Dr. Pizzorno as our honorary chair.
The purpose of 1,000 Friends of NCNM is to energize the students, faculty, and alumni by increasing visibility and fostering fundraising efforts for the College. The role of 1,000 Friends of NCNM is to serve as ambassadors of goodwill, create alliances with businesses and supportive individuals, and identify and cultivate charitable gifts for NCNM. The funding goal is to support excellence in the education of students as they study to become future physicians and practitioners.
Giving to 1,000 Friends of NCNM will enrich the lives of hard-working students and ensure that NCNM continues to graduate many of the best-trained physicians and practitioners of natural medicine. It is the goal of this year’s Campaign to raise $75,000. Funds raised during the 2007-2008 Campaign will create a permanent NCNM student scholarship endowment.
There are three levels of annual membership: Green Level for $250 or 12 monthly contributions of $21, Bronze Level for $500 or $42 per month, and Gold Level for $1,000 or $84 per month. Each member will be asked to find three other “Friends” to join in support of NCNM. 1,000 Friends of NCNM are grateful patients, alumni, health care practitioners, faculty, staff, neighbors, and friends.
