Professional Dental Communities Coalesce to Help with Hurricane Katrina Relief

Academy of Comprehensive Esthetics, genR8TNext, Hollander Consultants and Others Join Forces to provide Hurricane Relief
Berlin, CT: Hurricane Katrina's devastation is still being assessed and numerous groups are severely affected who will not be helped by governmental disaster relief. Many disparate professional dental groups, led by Dr. Mike Maroon founder of genR8TNext, have joined together to help dentists and dental professionals in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama who have had their lives disrupted and livelihoods potentially destroyed by Katrina.
Dr. Maroon, a founder of the Academy of Comprehensive Esthetics, has created the GenX/ACE Hurricane Relief Fund. The genesis of the fund was formed via online dental communities like genR8TNext, www.GenerationNext.com, and Dental Town, www.dentaltown.com. The GenX/ACE Hurricane Relief Fund has so far collected over $30,000 and is continuing to grow daily.
"We, as a dental community, need to pull together to help our colleagues. There are hundreds of displaced professionals throughout Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama and they need our support." said Dr. Maroon.
Many groups have joined with Dr. Maroon and the GenX/ACE Hurricane Relief Fund in support of the victims of Katrina including Discus Dental, Hollander Consultants, Ultradent Inc., Heartland Dental Care, Coast Dental, and many individual dental practitioners all over the country.
To donate to the fund, contact Dr. Maroon at HurricaneRelief@genXACE.com or send a contribution check to Dr. Mike Maroon, 39 Webster Square Rd., Berlin, CT 06037, attn: Hurricane Relief Fund. More information can also be found at www.GenerationNext.com.
