Oral Health America (OHA) announced that its 24th annual gala and benefit raised more than $650,000 for OHA's programs and campaigns.
The event provides support for dental programs that focus on increasing access to care, internship and fellowship opportunities, and advocacy efforts.
The event sold out for the first time, with OHA hosting more than 850 people at the Palmer House Hotel in Chicago on February 19, 2014, according to the organization.
"The revenue from this event will bring needed oral healthcare and education to the country's most vulnerable populations," said Peggy Cottrell, OHA board chair.
