PerioDash Celebrates its 10th Anniversary! Register Today!

Are you ready to PerioDash?! Join us for the 10th anniversary of this well-loved AAP Foundation event. PerioDash is a virtual run/walk, which means you register, pick a day during the first two weeks of October, and run at a time that works best for you. Indoors or outside, on your own or with a team, walking or running, the choice is yours! Help support the future of periodontal education and have a great time while doing so! Register today!

Want to run as a team? Gather your friends and run together! Have a fun team name? We'll put it on the back of your shirt at no additional cost! The team that raises the most for the Foundation will win a $200 gift card so you can spring for a celebratory lunch! (or whatever is meaningful to your team) Rally friends, community members, family to participate or donate in your team's name.

Remember, this is a *virtual* event, which means after you register, the rest is all up to you. Sign up, pick a day between October 1-15, run on your own or with your friends, fellow residents, practice group, etc. 

Here are the details:

What: PerioDash 2024
Who: Anyone can participate!
When: October 1 - 15, 2024. Pick a date during this range and a time that works for you! 
***If you'd like your shirt and medal *before* you run, the deadline to register is August 28th!***
Where: Wherever you'd like! The choice is yours!
Why: All PerioDash proceeds support the efforts of the AAP Foundation, the only non-profit charitable organization dedicated exclusively to periodontists and the patients they serve.
