Tom Chappell, cofounder and CEO of Tom's of Maine, announced the
sponsorships, stating, "We continue to see studies indicating the enormous
need for access to dental care throughout the United States and thus we're
very pleased to mark our 5th year of Dental Health for All(TM). We are
encouraged by the support and energy around dental needs shown by our
consumers and retail partners who help make these grants possible. Although
these clinics are very different in some ways, just like Tom's of Maine,
they all share a mission-driven focus of bringing quality dental and oral
health care to people in need and thus will receive sponsorship for
construction of new dental clinics, funding more dental hygienists, and
purchasing X-ray systems."
