Ultradent Products raised $85,263 during its annual drive for the Utah Food Bank. That translates to 341,036 pounds of food for needy families throughout the year.
Since the drive began in 2011, the company has helped raised 1.2 million pounds of food, with donations going to the Utah Food Bank as well as to victims of global disasters such as Typhoon Haiyan in 2013.
“My grandfather taught me as a young boy that it is only with an open hand that one has the ability to receive,” said Dr. Dan Fischer, founder, president, and CEO of Ultradent Products.
Donations were raised through opportunity drawings, bake sales, pop-up boutique sales, Food Truck Friday events, and a charitable golf tournament, all organized by company employees. Representatives of Ultradent Products presented a check for $85,263 to the food bank on November 19.
