Team A-dec spent a weekend helping local charitable organizations as part of our annual Family Volunteer Days. This year's groups did service projects for Wildwood Farm & Animal Sanctuary (https://www.wildwoodfarmsanctuary.org/), Chehalem Youth & Family Services (https://cyfs.net/) and With Courage (https://www.withcourage.org/).
A-dec is creating a $1,000,000 endowment to establish the A-dec Scholarship Fund with The Dental Trade Alliance Foundation. We believe that advancing dentistry starts by supporting the next generation of clinicians. That’s why each year we’ll be awarding scholarships to dentistry and hygiene students who demonstrate a strong commitment to serving communities and improving access to oral healthcare. We’re honored to make a difference in these students’ lives—knowing the invaluable difference they’ll make with every patient they treat.
