The ADA Foundation continues to accept much-needed donations in an effort to help dentists affected by Hurricane Sandy. To date, the ADAF has received 125 applications for its Disaster Assistance Grants of up to $5,000. Many of those affected by the disaster are just beginning to put the pieces back together.

There are four ways to donate:  

• Donate online at www.ada.org/4572.aspx.

• Donate by phone using your credit card: call the ADA Foundation at 1-312-440-2547 (Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time).

• Donate by fax or mail using a credit card: download the ADA Foundation Donation Form and send it in by mail (see below) or by fax to 1-312-440-3526.

• Mail a check payable to the ADA Foundation to: ADA Foundation, 211 E. Chicago Ave., Ste. 2100, Chicago, IL 60611. Note "Disaster Assistance Fund" in the memo field of the check.

The ADAF is very grateful to all—individuals, state societies, corporations—that make contributions to help meet this need. Funds raised will first be used to provide grants to qualified applicants affected by Hurricane Sandy. Funds not expended for such purpose will be held for future disaster relief.
