Align Technology recently donated $100,000 to the America's ToothFairy Health Education Resources and Outreach (HERO) Program.
Align is a Title Sponsor for the community outreach program, which provides oral health education resources to nonprofit dental clinics, public health organizations, educators and volunteers, according to a press release.
This marks the 13th year Align has supported America’s ToothFairy through a donation, with the company giving more than $1.8 million to the nonprofit over the years to go toward operational expenses and children oral health programs. The donations have ultimately helped 8.9 million children and their caregivers learn about dental disease prevention.
“Tooth decay doesn’t stop for a pandemic,” America’s ToothFairy Executive Director Jill Malmgren said, according to the release. “With support from Align, last year we were able to quickly shift our educational efforts to provide free resources online so that kids could learn how to prevent tooth decay from their homes. Since April, nearly 600,000 kids have been reached using our downloadable educational resources. We are very excited to see what we will accomplish in the coming year with the renewed commitment of this long-standing partnership.”
