Ultradent recently launched a new campaign with its new orthodontic division, "Opal Orthodontics". Both the Ultradent and Opal Orthodontics management team with the suggestion of Jeff Smith, suggested that we partner with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation. The partnership entails donating a significant percentage of earnings from Opal Orthodontic’s adhesive line to the foundation. The more I learn about this organization, the more I'm impressed. The promise and commitment of the surviving sister, Nancy G. Brinker is exemplary. Nancy has dramatically shown that "ONE PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE"! And ok, hundreds of thousands have rallied to help her cause but Nancy was the spark, the drive and the follow through - the human with the vision and the passion to make it all come together. It's amazing! Between the commitment Nancy made to her sister Susan who later died of cancer in 1982 until the present, the organization has raised one BILLION dollars for the cause. I toast Nancy, her family/parents who instilled values, ethics and care in their children so that when the opportunity arose, there was a virtual automatic shift in human care, courage, integrity and work ethic inside to blast from the launch pad and hence generate this herculean effort!! Nancy, Susan and their family created the tipping point to help make it a better world!! One person. . . one family, can make a difference! Good stuff, Dan
