Profile: Climb for a Cause

…doing well while doing good

Climb for a Cause (CFAC) is a non-profit Foundation that combines the breathtaking beauty of the mountains with the desire to make a positive difference in peoples’ lives.  Since 1998, they have been making positive and meaningful differences in the lives of needy children and deserving adults around the world.  CFAC offers individuals and organizations a unique opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to “giving back”–that is, to share the fruits of their success with those less fortunate.  Each year, dental professionals, staff, Industry participants, and Media from across the nation assemble at one of North America’s natural wonderlands to CFAC. While not technically difficult, the Events typically pose a formidable endurance challenge.  Funds raised from this year’s events will support the CFAC dental education and treatment projects in Guatemala and Nepal.  Part of CFAC’s proceeds may also be allocated to other domestic oral health causes.

By working with in-country partners, CFAC has been successful in making a positive and noticeable difference in the lives of needy children and deserving adults.
