Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County CEO, Kevin Deary, accepts a check from Dr. Cheryl Carlton and Dr. Mark Deal of Goshen Family Dentistry as part of the Smiles for Life Campaign.
Dr. Deal and Dr. Carlton are members of the Crown Council, an alliance of leading-edge dental teams that are passionately committed to promoting oral health, fighting oral cancer and serving their communities through charitable work.
During the Smiles for Life Campaign, participating Crown Council dentists donate their time to whiten teeth with 100% of proceeds from the procedures going to help children's charities. Fifty percent of the donations are earmarked for each dental practice's local charity partner, and the balance goes to the Smiles For Life Foundation to be distributed to worthy and approved children's charities across the U.S., Canada and worldwide.
