OMS Foundation Alliance Events

The Alliance Committee Looks Forward to Seeing You in Seattle in 2026!

The OMS Foundation Alliance Committee is a dedicated group of spouses, family members, and friends of oral and maxillofacial surgeons who come together to build community, foster connection, and support the specialty through philanthropy and service. After an unforgettable meeting in Washington, D.C., filled with friendship, inspiration, and purpose, we are excited to gather next in Seattle, Wash. for the 2026 AAOMS Annual Meeting.

From our signature Health Walk & Networking Breakfasts to the Luncheon and FUNraiser benefiting the Global Initiative for Volunteerism and Education (GIVE), Alliance events create meaningful opportunities to connect, give back, and celebrate the strength of our OMS community. Thanks to the dedication of the Alliance Committee and the generous support of our sponsors, proceeds from our events continue to advance the GIVE program, helping residents serve on international humanitarian missions.

See below for the 2026 event details- and get ready to make new memories together!

See you in Seattle,
The Alliance Committee

What an incredible year it’s been for the Alliance! From meaningful connections to moments of laughter and service, our 2025 events truly embodied the spirit of friendship and giving that define our community.

Our Daily Health Walk participants enjoyed exploring the heart of Washington, D.C., while catching up with old friends and welcoming new ones to the Alliance family. After each walk, we gathered for breakfast and great conversation—strengthening the bonds that make our time together so special.

A heartfelt thank-you to all of our Alliance sponsors for your generous support and continued partnership. Your contributions make these experiences possible and help us carry out our mission with purpose and heart.

As always, proceeds from Alliance events benefit the Global Initiative for Volunteerism and Education (GIVE)—providing reimbursements of up to $2,500 in travel expenses for residents serving with international humanitarian healthcare teams.

Here’s to another wonderful year of connection, service, and celebration within our AAOMS community. THANK YOU for being an essential part of the Alliance story!

Mrs. Kos Lugakingira, 2024-25 Alliance Committee Chair
