SAM'S SPONSORS

WELCOME TO OUR 'SOCIAL-GOOD' BOOK CLUB

Encouraging public participation in the Chalky Teeth Campaign, 'Sam's Story Club' is a social-good initiative whereby anyone, anywhere, can help needy children facing the often-daunting challenges of 'chalky molars' – also known as 'Molar Hypomin' or just "hypomin" for short. By sponsoring gifts of Sam's Storybook to families, educators and healthcare workers in the public sector, you simultaneously support the globally unique research and educational activities of The D3 Group (D3G). Your gift therefore has exceptionally far-reaching potential to make a real difference in both the short and longer terms.

This is indeed an important issue and sadly there are a lot of myths about it. That’s why I love Sam’s Story so much as it translates the condition so well. I think this storybook should be available to all. Betty Keng, orthodontist

HOW TO JOIN THE CLUB AND GIVE

OPTION 1

We distribute the books to children in need through our partner organisations in the public sector.

OPTION 2

We send you the books to distribute as you please (e.g. via "Hypomin Families", teachers, school libraries & dental clinics, maternal & child health centers, or community health clinics in your region). Our only restriction is that you don't "on sell" or otherwise personally profit from your donation. In the case of healthcarers in private practice, a genuine gift to private patients is fine, but an advertised practice-builder or surcharge isn't – check with your local tax authority if in any doubt.

FOR BOTH OPTIONS

Simply gift at least 20 books (AU$100, about US$80) using our secure e-shop or online donation facilities (please go here).
