Sue Bain - Ft. Lauderdale
Years ago, Hurricane Wilma destroyed the design warehouse and its props displacing forty five people. Never losing hope herself, all efforts were then focused on the thrift shop which had been in operation for twelve years. Donations were received from individuals as well as corporations and her wards were encouraged to deal with the public, face adversity and continue in their recovery process. She leased a strip mall location, as well as selling at the local swap shop to continue to fund housing for the homeless. In 2001, Sno opened her housing shelter in Pompano Beach, Florida. Able to accommodate up to 70 individuals, the shelter was financed in part from the thrift store and theme party proceeds. Sadly, never being able to recover from Hurricane Wilma and the brutal economy, Sno was forced to close both the shelter and the thrift store. Hope After having lost both operations, Sno, once again, opened PTL (Praise The Lord), a cabinet manufacturing training facility fund.

For Kid’s Sake Foundation to Crush Cancer Malia Jusczyk is a Plainville, MA second grader who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, an aggressive form of childhood cancer.

Malia has endured 6 rounds of chemo, 9 hours of tumor resection surgery, a stem cell transplant, removal of a kidney and an adrenal gland, 12 rounds of proton radiation, countless blood transfusions, immunotherapy and much more. The good news is Malia shows No Evidence of Disease (NED), and is over 4 years cancer free! However the harsh reality is that more than 60% of children do not survive, the rate of relapse for those that do is 50% until they are 5 years cancer free and there is no known cure for relapse. Better treatment is needed for the #1 disease killer of US children (cancer!) and studies are waiting for funding. Check out our website for upcoming events that you can sponsor.

FOUR WAYS TO HELP A CHARITY WITHOUT SPENDING CASH As a company that strives to save your business cash, we are also a company that wants to give back to the community. We wanted to let you know that there are ways you can give back, both as a business and in your personal life, when your financial resources are limited.
1. Donate
Plenty of us forget that one of the simplest ways of giving to charity without breaking the bank is by donating. This is as easy as setting aside a box in your home or at your business and label it: DONATIONS. Throughout the year, put donatable items in the box. When the box is full, take it to the charity of your choice. But the items don’t need to be limited to old clothes or books or toys! Many charities will gladly take your old computers, printers, and furniture (yes even office furniture).
2. Volunteer
Now if you don’t have much to donate in the way of items, think about donating your time by volunteering. Almost all charities and non-profit organizations need volunteers to help them keep running because they can’t afford dedicated staff. Consider volunteering specific skills that you have, such as marketing, IT, accounting, writing, cooking, or photography — even contemplate offering your services pro bono.
3. Raise Awareness
If you can’t afford to give money regularly, perhaps someone else can. If you feel passionately about a particular charity, making people aware is a great way to get more money flowing their way. This could be done in many ways, from social media to blogging about issues that you want to share. Alternatively, you could sponsor the charity and include their logo on your promotional material and have their brochures at your front desk.
4. Barter
IMS supports 100 different charities across 18 states including Shriners Hospitals for Children, Missing & Exploited Children, Special Olympics, Easter Seals, CURE Childhood Cancer Association, United Way, March of Dimes, and the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. Those are just a few. For far this year, IMS members have made 655 donations to the charities that we work with. Those 655 donations went to 58 different charities and equaled $400,000. There are many opportunities year-round to help these amazing organizations save their vital cash by giving them the gift of IMS trade dollars.

Pearls with Purpose - Lehi
Non Profit Organization. Pearls With Purpose is a social impact organization (which means we blend the initiatives of a non-profit with the systems and productivity of a for-profit) in order to bring long term self-reliance to women in developing countries. Beginning in 2002 with a handful of women in the squatters area of Antipolo City, Philippines, PWP has since expanded into Ban Nam Kem, ThailandBarathapurham, India- and Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Hundreds of women have been given a hand-up rather than a hand-out as they have become aware of their own self reliance through micro-enterprise training.
The Dive Alliance - Orem
Non profit organization that helps out veterans. Many Utah families donate funds for soldiers. While those national non-profits have their place, money raised for Dive Alliance impacts our local veterans in powerful and poignant ways; ways that a national organization can’t touch for our Utah families. Recognizing the impact and difficulties that the caregiver faces is just as important as meeting the needs of the wounded veterans.

We do not accept insurance and do not compete with private practice dentistry or government community healthcare, rather exist to fill the gap of patients who fall into neither of those categories.
