"Tooth Fairy" Educator Crowned as Best Smile Drive Photo Contest Winner
Throughout the month of February, Smile Drive participants were encouraged to submit their best Smile Drive photo. Three finalists (shown above) were selected and posted to our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram feeds for voting. The winner is Sophia Causie, an aspiring dentist from Concord, Michigan. Sophia dressed as the Tooth Fairy and visited dental offices for donations, then visited local elementary schools to provide oral health education and "healthy smile" kits for the kids. This year, Sophia collected more than 1,100 oral care products and the overwhelming majority of votes.
Our runners-up included The Goddard School in Fayetteville, Arkansas, whose owner (above center) got a pie in the face when the team at Goddard doubled their Smile Drive goal; and Frontline Insurance from Lake Mary, Florida, whose "Little Helper" (above right) posed with all three boxes of oral care products that they donated to the Good Samaritan Clinic. Congratulations to all our contestants who held fantastic Smile Drives!
