Global Dental Relief

Since 2013, Cranberry has been partnering with Global Dental Relief, a non-profit organization that provides dental care for children around the world. As GDR’s silver sponsor we have built multiple clinics that provide dental services for children from countries such as Guatemala, Kenya, India, Nepal, Cambodia and many more. In 2021, our sponsorship with GDR has provided over 10,000 patients with restorations, cleanings, extractions, and fluoride care.

Scholarship

Since 2017, we have sponsored pre-dental students to join Global Dental Relief in providing dental care to underprivileged children. Each scholarship allows students the opportunity to witness the power of brightening smiles, while gaining firsthand experience in their future career.
