Class Philanthropy 2024 – DEMS

The Class of ’69 selected Dartmouth Emergency Medical Services (DEMS) as the Fiscal Year 2024 recipient of our annual philanthropy award to a student created and run organization.   We donated $10,000 to the group to help fund their purchase of a new vehicle to carry their trained EMTs and their equipment to emergency calls.


Current year Director of Training Giulia Barbella and Executive Director Grace Cason received the check, along with a pint-size emergency vehicle with a working siren and flashing lights, at the October 2023 ’69 Coming Home weekend.
