Colorado Dental Association dentists have given millions of dollars in donated dental services through programs like the CDA’s annual Colorado Mission of Mercy (COMOM) and Give Kids a Smile Day. Both programs are dedicated to providing dental care to Coloradans who cannot afford necessary dental treatment.
The CDA is constantly looking for volunteers to participate in these annual programs. Also, donations are welcome and accepted through the CDA Charitable and Educational Fund. These donations are tax deductible and can be designated for a specific CDA program or for the CDA Charity Fund Grant program CDA Charity Fund Grants.
