Give Back A Smile™ Fundraiser

AACD’s Charitable Foundation, Give Back A Smile, has donated over $4 million in cosmetic dental services to survivors of domestic violence since its inception in 1999. Many thanks are in order for all of the supporters who have helped make this happen!

The Annual AACD Scientific Session provides a tremendous opportunity to both celebrate the success of Give Back A Smile and raise funds to continue to help survivors into the future. GBAS events in Atlanta will include:

7th Annual GBAS Silent Auction

Bid on an array of items from autographed memorabilia of Hollywood or sports stars, to dental equipment for your practice, to a wonderful get away vacation. Auction items are gathered through the generous donations of our dental partners and others concerned with helping fight domestic violence.

You, too, can help our cause by donating an item to the Silent Auction. Contact AACD Charitable Foundation Director Erin Roberts at erinr@aacd.com for more information

All attendees of AACD Atlanta 2007 can place bids on the silent auction items on-site at the conference at the GBAS booth in the Exhibit Hall. A list of items up for bid will be posted to this Web site as the meeting approaches.
