MDS Foundation Mission of Mercy
Save the Date!
The MDS Foundation is pleased to announce that we're sponsoring a Mission of Mercy (MOM) free dental clinic:
Saturday, November 15, 2025
DCU Center, Worcester, Massachusetts
In fulfilling the Foundation's mission of increasing access to care, this clinic will provide dental care at no cost to the uninsured, underinsured, and anyone who cannot access care. However, we need your help in two ways—by donating and volunteering.
Donate
To raise funds for this event, the Foundation launched a fundraising initiative—Martin's Mission Challenge—stemming from a generous offer by Dr. Raymond Martin, a past president of the MDS, to match all donations up to $20,000 received by September 1, 2025 . This challenge kicked off at the MDS House of Delegates, and the response and energy were so overwhelming that Dr. David Lustbader, a past president of the MDS and a Foundation Board member, generously offered to unlock an additional $10,000 match for funds raised once we meet the $20,000 goal. This pledge would result in a total match of $30,000, potentially raising $60,000 by September 1 for the MOM. If you have already made a donation, thank you for your generosity. If you haven't had a chance to donate and help us get closer to unlocking the $30,000 match, donate today!
Volunteer
If you're interested in volunteering, we will be opening a volunteer portal in the upcoming weeks for both clinical and non-clinical volunteers. At that time, you and your staff can sign up as clinical volunteers, and you can also get your friends, family, and support staff involved by volunteering for non-clinical roles. We have a plan to serve 300 patients in one day, so all helping hands are welcome!
