Chiefs' Colquitt for Award Nomination
TeamSmile Volunteer, Kansas City Chiefs Football Player Dustin
Colquitt, nominated for NFL Man of the Year Award… Company encourages
fans to vote in Twitter Charity Challenge
DAYTON, Ohio, Dec. 17, 2018 — Midmark Corp., a leading provider of
medical, dental and veterinary equipment, technology and services,
today congratulated Kansas City Chiefs punter, Dustin Colquitt for
becoming the football team’s nominee for the prestigious Walter Payton
NFL Man of the Year Award. He was chosen primarily for his work with
TeamSmile, a dental care advocacy group Midmark supports.
TeamSmile is the nation’s premier advocacy group that partners oral
health professionals with professional athletic organizations to
provide life-changing dental care to underserved children throughout
the United States. Midmark works closely with the organization and
supports its efforts through monetary and equipment donations,
including Midmark sterilizers to maximize infection control. Midmark
Teammates also volunteer at numerous TeamSmile events held throughout
the year.
Eric Shirley, chief commercial officer, Midmark, currently serves on
the Board of Directors of TeamSmile alongside Colquitt.
“Dustin Colquitt has contributed a tremendous amount of time, passion
and financial resources to help serve at-risk children through
TeamSmile. We are glad that he is getting the recognition he deserves
for his ability on the field and his chartable commitment off the
field,” said Shirley. “We are proud to partner with him and TeamSmile
to provide life-changing dental care to underserved children. Getting
these children to understand the importance of oral care and to provide
that initial care sets them on the path for a lifetime of good dental
care habits and long-lasting oral health.”
Fans are encouraged to participate in Nationwide’s 4th annual Charity
Challenge, a campaign designed to support and promote team
nominees. They can vote by using #WPMOYChallenge on Twitter with
Colquitt’s last name somewhere in the post between Dec. 6 and Jan. 13.
The player whose unique hashtag is used the most will receive a $25,000
contribution to their charity of choice, courtesy of Nationwide.
