ADAF GKAS Awards Gala

Introduction

The second ADA Foundation Give Kids A Smile® Awards Gala will be held in Washington, DC, on Tuesday, May 12, 2009, during the ADA's Washington Leadership Conference.

The Gala again will be held at an historic site, the Library of Congress on Capitol Hill. The reception will begin at 5:30 p.m. in the Montpelier Room in the Madison Building and dinner will follow in the Great Hall of the Thomas Jefferson Building.

Those who attended the inaugural Gala last year gave the event rave reviews, and we invite you to join ADA leadership, dental industry members, dental educators, access-to-care program directors and Members of Congress for this special evening.

In addition to helping raise funds for grants to improve access to oral health care for the underserved and supporting ADA efforts to give more kids a smile, the Gala will honor public officials who have supported improved access to care.

With last year’s support, we were able to raise over $230,000 for the Give Kids A Smile Fund and access-to-care grants.

Individual sponsorships again are $300, which entitles you to one seat at the Gala, and table sponsorships are available at $25,000, $10,000 and $5,000, with appropriate recognition.

Here’s looking forward to another great event to honor the ADA’s signature charitable program. Please be sure to check the site often as we will continue to update this page. If you have any questions, please contact us.
