Mariane Bafile

The training and financial support I received as a resident in the prosthodontic program at the Eastman Institute of Oral Health (then the Eastman Dental Center) had a profound impact on my life and career.

My colleagues and I were fortunate to study with world-renowned faculty who helped shape the profession and trained us to provide the best care for our patients. I have carried on these values in both my private practice and as an educator at the Eastman Institute of Oral Health.

Funding University deferred charitable gift annuities helps ensure this important legacy continues for generations to come. More immediately, this type of gift provides a charitable income tax deduction and a lifetime of retirement income, a portion of which will be tax-free. My six percent annuity rate is equally desirable.

It’s rewarding to know that my gift will help to ensure a legacy of excellence at Eastman Institute of Oral Health.
