Here's a summary of our philanthropy on an ongoing basis:

• DDNE has established an endowed scholarship fund for the Creighton University Medical Center School of Dentistry and the University of Nebraska Medical Center School of Dentistry.
• DDNE is the primary sponsor of the Dr. Ben Kutler Memorial Golf Outing. Proceeds go toward sponsoring dental care at the Creighton University Dental Clinic for local residents who can not afford dental care.
• DDNE supports the Omaha Area Food Banks' "Food for the Holidays" program by making a holiday contribution in honor of our top-producing brokers.
• DDNE partners with Valmont Industries to sponsor their annual United Way Golf Outing.
• DDNE funded the Omaha Dental Society's exhibit at the KidzExplore booth. This is an annual event for local children that promotes good physical and mental health care. The booth offered a variety of oral health information and products and visits by Delta Dental's Tooth Fairy.
• DDNE is an annual sponsor of the Nebraska Special Olympic Games.
