The winner of the Premier® Make A Difference campaign is Dr. Paul Glass of South Bend, Indiana.  Dr.Glass has requested that his winning donation be made to Indiana University.  The money is designated for the community dentistry outreach program.  According to Julie Charlestein, VP of Branding and Business Development, "Today more than ever we all want to make a difference in our workplace and community.   This contest was designed to appeal to the inner philanthropist in every individual, empowering them to give on a grander scale than normal circumstances might allow."  Dr. Glass hopes that his $20,000 contribution will have a positive impact on the patients and the community.

In 2008, Premier launched the year-long 'Make A Difference' campaign.  All Two Striper diamond purchasers were entered into a drawing and the winner was able to donate the $20,000 check from Premier to a dental charity of their choice.  Dr. Glass chose the community outreach program at Indiana University and his contribution will surely 'Make A Difference'.
