Sending Smiles to Puerto Rico

Double-Duty Donations: Sending SmilesEXTENDING THE SEASON OF GIVING:
We are still collecting donations! The final deadline to participate in SendingSmiles to Puerto Rico is December 15th, 2017.

Since the grand-opening of KinderSmile Community Oral Health Center in August 2016, our team has welcomed more than 2,000 previously underserved patients into our nonprofit dental
home. We pride ourselves on treating every single patient with the same level of dignity, professionalism and care to ensure that they all gain optimal oral health, regardless of their level of education or socioeconomic status.

Our hearts go out to the families of Puerto Rico who have suffered through the devastation of Hurricane Maria and been displaced from their homes and routines. In an effort to share our philosophy of “oral health for all,” we want to bring back some normalcy to these families and send smiles to Puerto Rico through a multipurpose fundraiser.

For the months of October and November 2017, KinderSmile Foundation will match every dollar donated to the Sending Smiles campaign with a free toothbrush for Puerto Rico. We will also welcome children of Puerto Rico who have come to New Jersey as a safe haven to receive free dental services at our Bloomfield dental home.

Donate online through the link below OR mail a check payable to KinderSmile Foundation at 10 Broad St, Bloomfield, NJ 07003. Your charitable contribution is tax-deductible.

Each donor is displayed in our dental home in downtown Bloomfield Center, surrounding the KinderSmile Foundation “Community Giving Tree” of top supporters.

In lieu of a Christmas grab bag our office decided to make a charitable donation to the KinderSmile Foundation. Please accept this donation to benefit the children of Puerto Rico from the Dental Office of Dr. Doris and Staff. Wishing everyone in your Foundation and their families the Very Happiest Holiday Season.

Dr. Doris Rhee and her staff truly set an example for “the season of giving” by foregoing their annual Christmas grab bag to instead make a donation to KinderSmile Foundation. We are so grateful!
