Store-A-Tooth™ Dental Stem Cell Banking Announces Commitment to "Find a Cure" for Type 1 D
Provia Labs launches its "Store a Tooth - Find a Cure" initiative to donate funds for diabetes research.
LEXINGTON, MA (PRWEB) SEPTEMBER 27, 2012 Provia Labs’ Store-A-Tooth™, a leader in dental stem cell preservation, announces a new program, “Store a Tooth - Find a Cure,” to support type 1 diabetes research. With Store-A-Tooth, parents can bank the stem cells from their children’s teeth to take advantage of potential future stem cell therapies for conditions such as type 1 diabetes. To underscore its commitment to families managing type 1 diabetes, Provia Labs will donate up to 50% of its proceeds to fund diabetes research. The news comes in advance of Stem Cell Awareness Day on October 3. Every time a parent enrolls with Store-A-Tooth to bank their child’s stem cells and mentions “Find a Cure,” the company will donate up to half its proceeds to support leading diabetes research organizations, such as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), Diabetes Research Institute in Miami, or Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston. The total funds raised will be announced at the Children with Diabetes Conference, July 9-14, 2013 in Orlando, Florida. Provia Labs will also make a donation for everyone who takes a short stem cell quiz on the newly launched “Store a Tooth – Find a Cure” web platform at http://www.stemcellsforacure.com.
