The season of giving is upon us. It’s a time when we give thanks and a time when we give gifts. With the rapid growth of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday was created to help share the giving spirit of the season with those in need. It connects people and organizations through social platforms, and inspires worldwide collaborations to celebrate and support the growth of philanthropy. This year, Kids Smiles will join Giving Tuesday with our own special effort:

At Kids Smiles we realize the power of one; how one smile can brighten a day, and how one day of giving can bring forth much change. In the days leading up to and on Giving Toothday, we will be sharing more about the lives you impact when you support Kids Smiles’ mission to provide under-served children with comprehensive dental care and health education. Your support truly helps us bring bright smiles, bright kids, and bright futures to our community.

We encourage you to share with others the importance of giving in your own way. Giving is unique to the individual, so whether you share our story, volunteer your time and skills, or give a donation, it is not about what you give, but how and whyyou give. We are thankful to you for your generosity, not just on Giving Toothday, but every day, and we look forward to an exciting year ahead and hope you continue to be a part of our growth.
