Mydent International Proudly Supports Autism Speaks Charity

Hauppauge, NY, April 20, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Mydent International is pleased to announce its ongoing support of Autism Speaks, the nation's largest and most effective autism science and advocacy organization. Autism Speaks is dedicated to funding global biomedical research into the causes, prevention, treatments and cure for autism.

With autism rates estimated as high as 1 in 91 children, Mydent feels compelled to take action. As a result, a portion of the profits from every DEFEND product sold will go to Autism Speaks, with a $10,000 minimum annual commitment.

It’s nice to know that a percentage of what we do every day is going to help improve the lives of people like my daughter.”
