Our hygienist Kim volunteering with the Brooklawn New Jersey Shade Tree Commission and the Alice Costello Elementary School to plant a tree on Arbor Day. Their mission is to provide residents, visitors and the business community with the highest quality of municipal services in an efficient, courteous manner to enhance the quality of life through planning and visionary leadership, to preserve our natural resources, and to maintain a safe and secure environment for our residents.

Two of our hygienist, Kim and Jen participating in the Cpl. Marc T. Ryan Memorial Run benefiting the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation. MC-LEF currently establishes a $30,000 educational account for every child who loses a parent serving in the United States Marine Corps or any Federal Law Enforcement Agency. Since our founding in 1995, MC-LEF has awarded over $74 million in educational accounts and other humanitarian assistance to over 4000 recipients.

Our Hygienist Kim volunteering with the Travis Manion Foundation Operation Legacy. She helped out freshening up the USS New Jersey Battleship in Camden N.J. Operation Legacy brings veterans, families of fallen heroes and TMF supporters together through local service projects. During Operation Legacy, TMF unites communities through a common cause, with volunteers living the “If Not Me, Then Who…” mantra and leading a movement of character, leadership and selfless service.

Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) is a national childhood cancer foundation dedicated to raising funds for research into new treatments and cures for all children battling cancer. Every year, an estimated 250,000+ new cases of cancer affect children under the age of 20 worldwide. Despite this, childhood cancer research is vastly and consistently underfunded. This is why it is so important to support and help fund research for children with cancer and that is why Philly Dentistry supported the Lemon Society Speakeasy in Philadelphia.

Share first opened in 1986, part of a national network of Shares dedicated to expanding community access to wholesome, affordable food. Since that time, Share has evolved into a vibrant, high-impact organization, recognized for their strong leadership role in reducing regional hunger and expanding access to nutritious, affordable food. Last year, Share brought 27 million pounds of emergency food relief to low-income Philadelphia residents facing hunger. Each day, Share manages complex food distribution operations, to bring a steady, reliable stream of food relief to more than 505 volunteer-led food cupboards.

The National Undy RunWalk is not just an opportunity to run or walk in your underwear. It is a family-friendly undy-themed RunWalk created by the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, with the goal to provide support for patients and families, caregivers, and survivors; to raise awareness of preventive measures; and inspire efforts to fund critical research. Funds raised through the Undy RunWalk support national prevention, research, and patient support initiatives at the Colorectal Cancer Alliance. The Undy RunWalk also supports the Blue Hope Partnership Program by providing funding to local organizations that are making strides to end colorectal cancer in our lifetime.

Recently, some of our staff volunteered at the MANNA Organization which helps deliver nourishing, healthy meals to those battling life-threatening illnesses. When you first arrive at MANNA you are welcomed right away with a smile and taken back to watch an introduction video about the history and mission of MANNA. After watching the video, you then go to the kitchen where the MANNA staff explains to your group who is responsible for each specific duty. The duties include, each person placing a different food into their designated space on the plate and then moving it along the line to the next person to place more food, and so on, until it is sealed shut and stacked to be transported to the trucks to be delivered to patients. Our team at Philly Dentistry helped to make over a thousand meals for MANNA. Each year MANNA has over 4,200 volunteers who donate over 40,000 hours to help those in need and get the nourishment they deserve.

Above is a few of the staff at Philly Dentistry during the 2018 MDA Muscle Walk. Dr. Cirka, Erin, Sara, Dr. Jeon, Alex, Jaq, Sandy and her twins enjoying the walk to raise money for muscular dystrophy diseases.

MDA Muscle Walk empowers individuals in hometowns across America to raise critical awareness and funds for muscle-debilitating diseases that severely weaken muscle strength and mobility. This is more than a walk. MDA Muscle Walk is a life-changing experience that unites families, friends, neighbors and local businesses to forge powerful connections, celebrate the strength of MDA families and transform hope into answers.

The Barkann Family Healing Hearts Foundation is setting out to accomplish exactly what it’s name implies—to help heal the hearts of families across the Delaware Valley whose hearts have been broken by the sudden illness or sudden loss of life of a loved one.

While we recognize that we cannot provide a cure or change a tragic outcome, what we know we can do is provide support and help to ease the immediate financial burden that these tragic situations leave in their wake. Our financial support can allow a parent to skip work to stay at the hospital with their child, or a spouse who has lost their partner to stay home with their children to begin the healing process.
