The Smiles For Life Foundation has been raising money to benefit children’s charities for more than twenty years. The latest campaign wrapped up at the end of June, but it’s never too soon to start thinking about next year.
Smiles For Life has raised more than forty million dollars since it began in 1998. It’s one of those ideas that is beautiful in its simplicity: participating Crown Council dentists all over the United States and Canada offer special teeth whitening services from March through June. Instead of paying the dentist, you pay the Smiles For Life Foundation. Half of that payment goes to the Foundation, while the other half goes to a local charity of the dentist’s choosing.
The payment may be split fifty-fifty, but 100% of it benefits needy children all over the world.
The program could not succeed without the participation of Ultradent. Ultradent donates all of the whitening supplies, and is a maker of professional-grade teeth whitening products used by dentists everywhere.
Did you miss out this year? We’re sorry for that! But rest assured, the wildly successful Smiles For Life program will be back in 2020, whitening teeth and raising money for the worthiest of causes, children who are seriously ill, disabled, and underprivileged.
The Smiles For Life Foundation is the children’s charity arm of the Crown Council, an alliance of dental professionals who are committed to promoting oral health, fighting oral cancer, and to serving their communities through charitable work.
