SDDS Foundation Smiles for Kids and Smiles for BIG Kids – 2022 Because of the continuing restrictions for school screenings, we are doing SFK and SFBK a bit differently this year…
4. SDDS will be having a ‘shopping day’ in mid February for supplies and SFK swag – all who are participating will be invited to come and “SHOP TIL YOU DROP.” We have so many awesome goodies for you to share with your patients (see the photos on this page)
Pick a family in your practice, in your school area, or in your ‘horizon’ of opportunities within your neighborhood. Is there someone (or several someones) you know who would benefit from pro bono care? It can be a child or two, their parents, or their grandparents.
5. For specialists – please let us know if you want to volunteer to do specialty needs and referrals.
Here’s the plan: 1. Pick a child or a family – are you in? Let us know that you will adopt a kid, or a family. 2. Schedule the appointment(s). 3. Let SDDS know and we’ll send you the form for your voluntary pro bono reporting (yes, we are tallying!)
6. And if you don’t have someone to choose, just let us know and we can send someone to your practice.
Broadway
The Dentists Do Broadway musicals to benefit the Foundation is back in action. Hamilton was sold out and so is Wicked (in April). Tootsie is in May and Come From Away is in September – both are great shows and we have plenty of tickets. Show details are on page 19. Coming soon – we’ll be announcing the Music Circus shows we will be buying group tickets for – stay tuned and thanks for supporting our program!
Crowns for Kids
Timeframe: February 1–May 1
Thank you to all the dental offices who donated scrap metal in jars – valuing $28,000 in 2021. To date, we have raised over $360,000 – all for the Smiles for Kids program. (That’s a lot of toothbrushes!)
So take your time and see if we can finish this with amazing numbers by May 1st!
Do you need a jar or a pick up? Just let us know – we deliver!
Again, this is for kids as well as adults – and the elderly too.
Thank you for being part of our SFK and SFBK programs!
