(Charlotte, NC, March 15, 2021)– This week America’s ToothFairy will launch our online charity auction offering dental products and equipment, and many other exciting items for bid at deep discounts. 100% of proceeds from Bid For Smiles will benefit nonprofit clinics and organizations that provide dental services to kids living in underserved communities.
“Nonprofit dental offices are stretched thin right now,” said Jill Malmgren, Executive Director of America’s ToothFairy. “In addition to experiencing budget shortfalls, our program members are seeing an increase in demand for services as more families face financial hardships. They are in desperate need of support from the dental community.” Bid For Smiles raises funds safely online to provide aid to these organizations.
The online event will kick off this Friday and run through March 26th. Participants are encouraged to register at BidForSmiles.org in order to receive updates and reminders.
