Tomorrow’s Trust

Humanitarian Dental Trips to the DR
Dr. Dorfman and his children helped build a dental clinic in the Dominican Republic at the Milan School for orphans and low income children. Typical, he and his children would visit the clinic a few times a year and deliver free dental care to hundred of students.
“Together with Garth Brooks and participating SFL dentists Dr. Dorfman has helped raise $50 million for Children’s Charities”
100% OF THE DONATIONS GO TO CHILDREN’S CHARITIES!
This was made possible because for first 12 years of the campaign Dr. Dorfman’s company, Discus Dental, donated ALL of the ZOOM and NiteWhite to Smiles for Life for free.
The campaign is sponsored by the Smiles For Life Foundation, which is the charity arm of the Crown Council—an alliance of leading-edge dental teams passionately committed to promoting oral health and serving their communities through charitable work.
Since 1998, we’ve raised over $50 million, benefiting hundreds of children’s charities around the world.
The Tomorrow Trust supports orphaned and vulnerable children throughout their educational journey. Providing holistic education, we focus on academics and life skills, thereby empowering them to reach their full potential as self-sustaining and proactive members of society.
We are dedicated to finding the students who are the most vulnerable and marginalized, and who therefore have the greatest potential to reverse the course of their futures. We evaluate them as whole individuals—with intricate and specialized needs that cannot be met by a “one size fits all” mentality towards education.
In this way, from the very beginning, we build a tailored program to help each student where he or she needs it most. This is our holistic support method, which runs throughout all stages of learning, to provide students with academic and psychosocial support.

Magen David Adom is Israel’s ambulance, blood-services, and disaster-relief organization, serving as emergency medical first responders for the state’s more than 8 million people. MDA is the only organization mandated by the Israeli government to serve in this role, but it’s not a government agency.
MDA provides emergency blood to anyone in Israel who needs it regardless of race, religion, creed, or color. In short MDA saves lives.
