Send a note, while helping the Foundation!
Looking for a way to honor someone's accomplishment? Send a memorial to a friend, relative or colleague?

These "all occasion" cards have many uses, and you can purchase a package of 10 for a $50 contribution to the ISDS Foundation. When you send one of these cards, and write your own note inside, you honor a person in a very special way and also support the worthy programs of the ISDS Foundation. 
Dental Education Endowment Fund: Our Legacy, Our Future
