The Leap to Win 50/50 raffle, backed by DDS and organized by The Heartland Dental Foundation, achieved unprecedented success!  The Heartland Dental Foundation raised an outstanding sum of over $117,000 through ticket sales.

Craig Kabbes, a dedicated supporter of the Heartland Dental Foundation, and Katrina Dahdah from DDS Lab, LLC, came together on March 1st at 1pm in Heartland Dental's headquarters in Effingham, IL, to draw the lucky winner. Jamie White emerged as the fortunate recipient of $58,519, while an equal amount went directly to the Foundation.
