Northwest Indiana Dental Society's Pampered Chef Party, in Memory of Nancy Wolff, Hosted By: Daniel Wolff

NIDS is honored to join Daniel Wolff in remembering his mother, Nancy, and celebrating her life, strength, and dedication to raising awareness about oral cancer. Nancy courageously fought this disease for more than six years and never stopped advocating for education and early detection.

Through this Pampered Chef fundraiser, Daniel hopes to continue his mother’s mission and make a lasting impact in the fight against oral cancer. From now until the end of August, anyone with the shopping link can participate. A minimum of 20% of all sales will be donated directly to NIDS, and once party sales reach $650, the donation will increase to 30%.

Together, we can honor Nancy’s legacy and help bring awareness, hope, and support to those affected by oral cancer.

Saturday, September 20, 2025 is NIDS 5k Run / 2k Walk for Oral Cancer Awareness! Join us... Register Today!

For the past eight years, the Northwest Indiana Dental Society (NIDS) has proudly hosted a 5K Run/2K Walk for Oral Cancer Awareness to educate the public, honor those affected, and raise critical funds in the fight against this often-overlooked disease. Oral cancer can be life-threatening if not detected early, and this event serves as a powerful platform to shine a light on the importance of regular screenings, early diagnosis, and continued research.

By engaging our community in a meaningful and active way, NIDS brings together dental professionals, patients, survivors, families, and local residents to unite for a shared cause. The proceeds raised through sponsorships, donations, and participant support directly benefit The Oral Cancer Foundation.

Beyond fundraising, the event fosters a spirit of unity, compassion, and collective responsibility—strengthening not only awareness but also NIDS role as a trusted health advocate and community leader in Northwest Indiana.

Won’t you join us in the fight against oral cancer—and yes, even have a little fun along the way?
