A pair of Canadian hygienists, responding to a plea for help for hygienists who were affected by hurricanes in 2005, won a raffle to appear on the cover of the August 2006 issue of RDH magazine.
Toronto-based Cate Grater and Gina Vasiliadis were the purchasers of the winning raffle ticket.
The RDH Lister Relief Fund was started through an online dental hygiene community at www.amyrdh.com. The raffle for the chance to be a RDH cover model raised $485.
Overall, the RDH Lister Relief Fun has raised more the $24,000 since September 2005. The fund provided $14,000 to four hygienists who were affected by catastrophic events last year.
Direct donations to the fund can be made at www.anneguignon.com.
Besides charitable donations, the fund also raised money through the sales of jewelry and T-shirts, as well as a raffle for Orascoptic loupes.
