	Foundation News Your Foundation Donation—A Living Memorial
	by Foundation Trustee C. F. Larry Barrett
	As many of us reach the age of retirement with our needs well met from our life-long dedication to serving the public in our profession, we begin to think how we can give thanks for all those years of service. One of those ways that will continue to serve long after we are gone is to include the Academy Foundation in your will or living trust. As a result of Dr. Brenes-Espinach’s generous will bequest to the Foundation, the Foundation has distributed over $2,224,000 in grants and scholarships since 1996. That includes 500 dental students helped out worldwide, and 160 grants that have served thousands of patients. As a Fellow in our Academy, you can participate in this great work our profession is engaged in. You can donate your time to a Section PFA project, make a contribution on your dues envelope, donate a special amount to be included in the Foundation’s principal, establish a living trust, or write in an amount in your will.		Last year alone, the Foundation awarded over $300,000 in grants and student scholarships. Such representative grants went to Dentures for the Elderly at Florida’s Senior Friendship Center; Le Social Dental Bus serving the underprivileged in Paris and its suburbs; The Dixie Donated Dental Service in Utah; the 1000 Smiles Surgery Foundation in Mexico; Children’s Dental Sealants in Michigan; and Dental Services to Leprous Patients in Japan. Spread your benefice across the globe through your Foundation. Your help will continue to serve patients and the profession long after you have retired from dentistry. Current low interest rates will compromise our ability to maintain the level of support these grants and scholarships have traditionally afforded. We very much need your individual help at this time. Please send your contributions to Dr. Richard Kozal, P.O. Box 80330, Las Vegas, Nevada 89180.
