Let’s Help All We Can to Assist
in the Recovery from the Disasters!
The NADL has implemented several important
initiatives to coordinate disaster relief efforts for the dental
laboratory industry and dental technicians.
1. Creation of the “NADL Dental Laboratory/Technology
Relief Effort”. NADL originally kicked off this fund raising drive in 2005 to help victims of Hurricane Katrina and has continued to assist victims of many natural disasters.
Individual dental technicians, dental laboratories,
and dental laboratory suppliers and manufacturers are encouraged
to contribute to this industry specific relief fund. Contributions
are being accepted online at the Online
Donation Form. You may also download the NADL
Disaster Donation Form and forward it directly to NADL.
NADL is accepting monetary donations of any amount specifically to assist those impacted within the dental laboratory industry and profession. Donations can be made online by credit card (MasterCard, American Express or VISA), or by fax.
Contributions can be accepted immediately
at the Online
Donation Form or
by check or money order, c/o NADL, 325 John Knox Road, L103,
Tallahassee, FL 32303. Checks or money orders should be made
payable to “NADL Dental Laboratory/Technology Relief
Effort”.

Disaster Donation Form.
The association’s objective is to receive
contributions as soon as possible so that requests for assistance
can be facilitated and delivered to those in need in the industry. The
more money that is raised by that timeframe, the more funds
can be released to those in dire need.
2. Creation of an Online Victim Assistance Request Form - NADL has developed an Assistance
Form Online where requests for help can be made directly online as well as through mail and fax.
Requests for assistance will be facilitated
on a first come, first serve basis and will be for a flat amount
of assistance. You may also download the paper Assistance Request Form and
submit by mail.
3 The National Association of Dental Laboratories joins with you in recognizing the severity and magnitude of the destruction that natural disasters inflict upon its victims. We realize the emotional, physical, and financial devastation on the impacted individuals, businesses and local communities.
Some NADL members and members of the respective state associations have lost their businesses, livelihoods and residences. It is difficult to reach many of the individuals in the most impacted areas due to communications, and it is difficult to assess the extent of damage to the dental laboratories headquartered and the dental technicians employed in these areas.
Along with you, NADL will continue to monitor the recovery effort and its impact upon the dental laboratory industry.
