Become a Tooth Fairy
for someone in need
The
Tooth Fairy Fund for
Grown-ups
is an effort to provide financial assistance to
adults who are unable to pay
even the low sliding-scale fees at the Health District’s
Family
Dental Clinic.
Earlier this year, a
local anonymous donor (our biggest Tooth
Fairy so far) offered a $20,000 challenge grant
for the
Tooth Fairy Fund for
Grown-ups.
The Health District met that goal, but your
donation could still allow us to help
more people in our community.
