3Shape and Carbon will host a fundraiser to benefit the non-profit Brighter Way Institute. Brighter Way Institute provides comprehensive oral health care to vulnerable adults, children, veterans, those experiencing homelessness, and individuals with special needs.
The fundraiser, comprised of a gala and silent auction, will take place as part of the Inaugural 3Shape Community Symposium—a two-day event hosted by 3Shape for dental professionals, focused on innovation in digital dentistry and taking place in Phoenix, Arizona.
3Shape, Carbon, and symposium-attendee Full Contour are donating products worth $60,000 for auction at the fundraiser. 3Shape will donate 3D scanners, with Carbon donating a pair of Adidas Futurecraft 4D high-performance running shoes and dental resins to the silent auction. All proceeds from the auction will go to Brighter Way Institute. Carbon previously donated one of its connect, data-centric printers to Brighter Way Institute.
“Brighter Way Institute is beyond excited for both 3Shape and Carbon’s generosity and philanthropic efforts to help us treat more of the underserved population in Arizona. Because of 3Shape and Carbon, we will be able to offer comprehensive dental care to more of the most vulnerable among our society,” says Dr. Kris Volcheck, CEO, Brighter Way Institute.
"We are very excited about the symposium and fundraiser. It’s a terrific opportunity to bring the dental community together as well as do something for the people here in Phoenix. Brighter Way is an important cause and we are proud to support it,” says Nikolaj Deichmann, Co-Founder and Co-CEO, 3Shape.
“Carbon is thrilled to expand its industry partnerships to continue developing and enhancing the digital ecosystem and, more importantly, to be able to support the Brighter Way Institute,” said Brian Ganey, General Manager of Carbon’s Dental Business. “It’s truly an honor to support the mission of Brighter Way Institute and help further the amazing work they’re doing.”
The inaugural 3Shape Community Symposium takes place at the Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona, October 4-6, 2018. The fundraiser and silent auction take place on Friday, Oct 5.
