The word “philanthropy” dates back to the 5th century BC when the Greek playwright Aeschylus used it to mean “love of humanity.” Today, we—Drs. Silvia Kurtovic and Raman Mahabir—embrace philanthropy as a commitment to generosity in all its forms. Whether through time, expertise, or resources, we believe in using our skills to make life better for others. Being part of the Tucson community has deepened this commitment, and we are honored to give back in ways that create a lasting impact.
Supporting the Tucson Community
Since making Tucson our home, we have developed a deep appreciation for the city and the people who make it special. We proudly support Angel Charity, American Heart Association, El Rio Health, Tucson Cancer Conquerors, and Bag It, all of which work to improve the lives of individuals facing health challenges.
Beyond healthcare, we are committed to fostering a strong community. We actively participate in local events like the PICOR Pancake Breakfast and proudly sponsor youth sports teams, including Falcons Lacrosse and the Tanque Verde Cowboys.
We are also strong advocates for advancing education and accessibility in reconstructive surgery. As member surgeons and supporters of Mission Plasticos and the DIEP C Foundation, we contribute to programs that provide life-changing care to breast cancer patients. We recently shared more about this work in a podcast interview with Terri Coutee.
On a national level, we are proud supporters of The Plastic Surgery Foundation (PSF) and The Aesthetic Society’s ASERF, organizations dedicated to research and innovation in plastic surgery.
