Project Smile, the charitable giving program that benefits both recipients and donors, turns two years old this month. Through Project Smile, patients of Pickron Orthodontic Care (POC) who have lost or broken their retainer write a tax deductible check to one of five Georgia charities instead of to Pickron Orthodontic Care and POC replaces the retainer at no charge. In addition, POC matches dollar for dollar contributions made by patients as part of the program. In the past two years, Pickron Orthodontic Care and its patients have raised nearly $75,000 for metroAtlanta charities.
Celebrating Project Smile’s second anniversary with an array of colorful retainers are representatives from three of the benefiting charities were Georgia Center for Children Development Director Lisa Dabney of Atlanta/Fulton, Prevent Child Abuse Georgia CEO Doug Middleton of Roswell, VolleyFest board of directors secretary Kristen Sapp of Duluth, along with Pickron Orthodontic Care owner and founder Dr. Robert Pickron of Duluth.
Pickron Orthodontic Care operates 24 offices in metro Atlanta, including Peachtree City, and offers a lifetime guarantee. For more information, visit www.pickron.com or call 770-448-8882.
