The Delta Dental Foundation has received a Communitas Award for “excellence in community service and corporate social responsibility.”
The international Communitas Awards was created to recognize the spirit of people helping people. Organizers of the award are looking for those who “unselfishly give of themselves and their resources, and are changing the way they do business to benefit their communities.”
“We often support community activities and oral health initiatives, especially those involving children, because we firmly believe in being a good neighbor to the communities where our customers live,” says Ari B. Adler, communications administrator at Delta Dental of Michigan.
In 2009, the Delta Dental Foundation provided $772,000 for oral health initiatives in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana.
“The grants aren’t made to garner recognition, but receiving this award is a nice bonus, plus it helps draw attention to the outstanding Mid-Michigan region and the businesses that are finding success here,” Adler says.
