Two for Teeth Campaign
Expanding Smiles, Expanding Futures!
The Central Penn Education Foundation is proud to launch the Two for Teeth fundraising campaign — a mission-driven effort to support and expand Central Penn College’s dental programs.
Right now, Pennsylvania faces a critical shortage of dental hygienists, dental assistants, and expanded function dental assistants. This workforce crisis leaves more than 2 million Pennsylvanians struggling with limited or no access to essential dental care.
At Central Penn College, we’re preparing the next generation of dental professionals — skilled, compassionate graduates ready to fill this growing need and bring healthy smiles to communities across the state. But we can’t do it without your help.
Your support of the Two for Teeth campaign will directly fund the growth of these life-changing programs, helping us reach our $2 million goal and ensuring more students can pursue careers that make a real difference.
💙 Give today. Support tomorrow’s dental heroes. Be part of the solution.
Together, we can create a future where every Pennsylvanian has access to the care they deserve.
