March Gladness

On March 1, our 23rd Smiles for Life campaign began; and (as always) it’s a slam-dunk win-win opportunity. Why not lend a helping hand for families who could use some support…all for the greatly reduced cost of a healthy, whiter and brighter SoCal smile?

Smiles for Life has generated over $40 million in proceeds during its 22-years…and ALL funds have been used to make a difference for children and families who could use a helping hand.

And, we have a local partner/recipient.

Four years ago, a 25-second Pasadena Chamber breakfast "commercial" moved Scheduling Coordinator Denise to tears. A week later, we had lunch with Nancy Davidson, Executive Director of The Foundation for Living Beauty; and I know we’ve never been the same since.

Living Beauty was founded in 2005; the Pasadena organization provides emotional and physical support for women and their families confronted with cancer. Living Beauty serves more than 450 women who are in various aspects of their "journey" with cancer. Nancy and her three-woman team organize and provide events, support groups, and resources; we knew we wanted to be one of those resources.

But what could we do? How could we help? We adopted five families for Christmas. We committed to Living Beauty for Smiles for Life. Today, we also provide complimentary Invisalign care for one Living Beauty member each quarter.

We hope you’ll join us this year and walk away with the kind of inside-out indelible smile that comes when you know you’ve made a difference for someone you might never even meet.

By the way, if we break our all-time Smiles for Life record and raise over $20,500…I’ll indeed don the UCLA powder puff blue and gold from head-to-toe for TWO solid weeks. When we hit $10,250, I’m down for a powder puff week.
