Manitoba Dental Foundation’s Smile Gala Masquerade Ball
The Manitoba Dental Foundation hosted the Smile Gala Masquerade Ball 2018 Fundraiser this past weekend, and the Cholakis Dental Group was on hand to lend our support for this wonderful organization and their event!
The Manitoba Dental Foundation serves as the centre of professional philanthropy for the dentists of Manitoba.
They provide a variety of services for vulnerable populations here in Manitoba. This includes, but is not limited to:
Providing dental services to the underserved, poor, or populations and communities with limited access to dental care;
Improving the dental health of long-term care institutionalized populations in Manitoba;
Providing dental outreach education programs for the underserved, and populations or communities with limited access to dental care;
Encouraging Manitobans to choose dentistry as a career option;
Supporting educational institutions or other agencies in research projects that would have a direct impact to the practice of dentistry;
Supporting education of dental students and dentists in Manitoba;
Promoting volunteerism as it relates to any of the above.
In support of this fundraising effort, the Cholakis Dental Group as well as our sister brand, Kids Dental, sponsored several tables at this year’s Gala.
