Cox Charities gives $3,500 to ASDOH

Six underserved children from working poor families in Arizona will get preventive oral health education and care thanks to a $3,500 grant from Cox Charities to A.T. Still University’s Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health (ATSU-ASDOH). Children who are not eligible for funding from the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System and have no dental benefits will receive care at ATSU-ASDOH’s community dental clinic in Mesa.

“Children from working poor families face huge barriers to getting access to oral care and this generous gift from Cox Charities will help us serve those in need,” said Jack Dillenberg, D.D.S., M.P.H., dean, ATSU-ASDOH.

Created in 1996, Cox Charities has awarded over $3 million in grants to hundreds of non-profit organizations across Arizona.
