At our practice, we believe in smiles. And we know it can be the most simple of acts that touches the life of a child. As we approach the holiday season, we are even more aware of the needs of children in both our local and global communities.
This month we are sending school supplies, with Halton-area volunteers, to an amazing organization dedicated to developing local schools in Dominican Republic - one of the poorest regions in North America. To learn more about this organization, click on: the CEED Foundation.
We also recently become familiar with a grassroots outreach program called the5dollarproject whose goal aligns with ours: to create smiles. One of their upcoming initiatives is to provide a holiday celebration for 50 homeless teens. We are donating toothbrushes and mouthwash to this wonderful outreach program. If you'd like to learn more about it, you can follow #50teens4christmas on Twitter.
A local Minor-A hockey team was also on the receiving end of some smiley fun when our office put together a silent auction basket, including the popular Philips Sonicare Toothbrush for kids, to be raffled off at their yearly fundraiser.
Have you found a way to reach out to your community? We would love to hear about it.
