Rebuilding smiles

The Patterson Foundation has been busy!

Erica Olsen, Patterson Dental Territory Manager out of the Milwaukee branch, met with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry for a check presentation. The AACD’s mission is to assist in rebuilding the smiles and lives of adults who’ve suffered dental injuries from domestic and sexual violence through their Give Back a Smile program. This year’s award from the Patterson Foundation for $20,000 will support this exact program! This is their fifth award since 2016, with our support totaling nearly $36,000.

We asked Erica what this award means to the area: “My heart was full as the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry was founded by the late Jack Kammer, a highly respected Dentist in Madison who was well know for his professional excellence and his charitable work in the community. His son, Dr. Chris Kammer is a dear friend of mine whom I shared this with. The family is also extremely grateful for Patterson’s contribution to their father’s continued legacy. Thank you!”
