May 2022 – Centrix, Inc. is excited to announce its donation toward Dental Lifeline Network’s Lifeline Heroes Challenge For Veterans!
The Lifeline Heroes Challenge For Veterans is an initiative to raise $500,000 to help 1,200 veterans receive donated comprehensive dental treatment.
Affording dental care can be a struggle for people with disabilities, as well as the elderly or medically fragile. Also falling into this category are the military veterans who once served our country, but now don’t have access to dental treatment.
Veteran Affairs is only able to provide dental care to a small fraction of veterans, leaving those like Lee, a 65-year-old Army and Air Force veteran without necessary dental care. Thanks to donations from the Lifeline Heroes Challenge for Veterans, Lee was able to finally eat pain-free and smile again after receiving much-needed dental treatment that included extractions and dentures.
For more than 40 years, Dental Lifeline Network has been a national leader in helping people access the dental care they cannot afford. The Lifeline Heroes Challenge for Veterans takes that service a step further to directly impact the lives of our nation’s veterans. We are thrilled to be a part of such a great mission!
“We are so thankful for partners like Centrix for their participation in the Lifeline Heroes Challenge for Veterans. With their generous donation, we can help veterans across the country get the dental care they need, but would not otherwise be able to afford,” said Lynda Ricketson, president and CEO of Dental Lifeline Network. “Together, we can make a larger, life-changing impact in the veteran community.”
If you would like to join the challenge in helping veterans receive the dental care they need, you can contribute by donating online. Dental Lifeline Network and Centrix.
