Bill Blasing

Executive Director

I consider it a true blessing and a genuine honor to get to do what I do every day...

Being a part of the ADCF mission, in concert with our clinic family and generous donors across America, makes every day an adventure that I don't even consider ‘work’ in its traditional sense. I consider it a true blessing and a genuine honor to get to do what I do every day with an amazing team and committed board of directors that I deeply admire and respect.

Bringing with him years of experience related to operating a business and leading teams effectively, Bill Blasing joined the ADCF as our executive director in 2015. He is not only adept at ensuring the overall business goals of our organization are met, but Bill is skilled in cultivating opportunities that add value to our charitable clinic family and their patients around America. He is responsible for all aspects related to human resources, operations, budgeting, fundraising and donor relations.

Bill is a member of several local non-profit groups, the Wichita Chamber of Commerce and his church, where he has served in various capacities. Bill is married to his elementary school sweetheart, Gina, whom he considers his best friend. He enjoys cruising in his first car, a 1971 Chevelle Malibu, which also happens to be the car he courted Gina in during high school.

Meet the ADCF Board

The ADCF was established to address the lack of quality equipment available for dental Mission of Mercy (MOM) events. Representatives from each of the participating states have joined for the purpose of acquiring, maintaining and shipping the expensive dental equipment needed to host a state-run MOM event.
