Hello everyone! We are The Novas — the Dental Hygiene Class of July 2026 at San Joaquin Valley College (SJVC), and we’re asking for your support to help us bring our Pinning Ceremony and Graduation celebration to life!

This ceremony represents years of dedication, perseverance, and personal growth. The pin we receive is more than just a symbol — it’s a reminder of every challenge we’ve overcome, every patient we’ve helped, and the commitment we’ve made to provide compassionate, quality dental care to patients in our communities.

Dental hygiene school has pushed us in every way — academically, emotionally, and professionally. Through it all, we’ve stayed focused on one goal: becoming licensed dental hygienists who make a positive difference in people’s lives. The Pinning Ceremony marks the moment that dream becomes real.

Unfortunately, organizing this special event comes with costs such as the venue, decorations, food, and ceremony materials, and we’re hoping to raise funds to make it a celebration worthy of this milestone.

Every donation, no matter the amount, helps us honor the hard work, sacrifice, and dedication that got us here. Your generosity will help us create a meaningful and memorable ceremony — one that reflects the pride we feel in reaching this incredible achievement.

Thank you so much for your support and for helping us celebrate the start of our careers as dental hygienists!
