Westside Cardinals Youth Football League, 2020 CFDRR Competitive Grant Recipient
According to WCYFL: The CFDRR grant has had a tremendous impact on our organization. Several of the organization’s needs have been met including modern safety equipment, uniforms, and an AED machine. The football program provides meaning in some of these young men’s lives who would not otherwise have hope. This grant helped relieve the monetary burden and, in return, allowed us to focus more on other areas, helping us grow as an organization.

Virginia Dental Association Foundation, 2020 CFDRR Competitive Grant Recipient
According to VDAF: The overall goal of the Donated Dental Services (DDS) program, supported by a CFDRR grant, is to restore eligible seniors and adults with disabilities to good oral health.

Mr. WS is a 64-year-old male who suffers from Type II Diabetes, hypertension, and Stage 4 kidney disease. He is also the primary caregiver for his wife, who recently had brain surgery and requires full-time care. Life is quite challenging for Mr. WS, and caring for his dental needs through the DDS program has been a great relief to him.
