Dear Pitt Pharmacy Family, Friends, Faculty, Staff, and Students,
With the conclusion of the Grace Lamsam Pharmacy Program for the Underserved’s EngagePitt campaign, PLS would like to extend our sincere gratitude and appreciation for your generous support! Together with the return of the PLS Annual Charity Auction, we were able to raise a total of over $10,800!! We were so excited to bring back a beloved Pitt Pharmacy tradition of the live auction this year after a hiatus due to the pandemic. With your contribution, we are able to continue providing crucial pharmacy services to underserved patients throughout Pittsburgh, supporting the community, and making a positive impact. The continued success of GLPP is thanks to the enthusiastic support of the Pitt Pharmacy community. We would not be as successful without your contributions. We thank you again and hope you will join us again next year!
