On Sunday, February 26, Detroit Mercy Dental participated in the Fight for Air Climb Detroit. Our team, Sky’s the Limit, consisted of 38 members including faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends of Detroit Mercy Dental. The group climbed 71 floors of Detroit’s Renaissance Center as a fundraising initiative to support the American Lung Association. Together, the team raised more than $5,000!
