How to Support the Victims of California Wildfires

Jan 16, 2025

From the California Dental Association:

Southern California is facing widespread devastation as wildfires and high winds continue to destroy homes and threaten public safety. In response to this, the CDA Foundation has reactivated its disaster relief efforts and created a fund to support the safety, well-being, and recovery of our dental community members. Beginning today, we have launched a link for individuals to donate to our disaster relief program, with an application for individuals to apply for funds that can be found here (https://share.hsforms.com/16xppj573SEepukSPcsw3VQdao49) (CDA membership not required to apply for funds). An additional email will be sent to all CDA members with links to more comprehensive information including the Wellness Program, TDIC, and practice support resources. If you would like to contribute to this fund, please follow the directions below. Your tax-deductible donation, in any amount, makes a difference.
