Well the 2010 local pageants have been over for quite sometime now and I have to wait until next year to compete again. What hasn't left my mind is the platform I chose to support. National Children's Oral Health Foundation: America's Tooth Fairy. Well, what is a platform? A platform is something a contestant chooses to support and deeply cares about that is of relevance to our country.
As a dental assistant student and aspiring dental hygienist, what better cause to support than America's Tooth Fairy. So, what is NCOHF: America's Tooth Fairy? It is a non-profit organization who's main focus is delivering critical oral health care to underprivileged children through out the country. This organization was formed in 2006 and in the last four years they have been able to provide prevention, restoration, and educational oral health services to over one million children.
Why does this matter? It breaks my heart to know that millions of children in America are suffering pain so severe that they lose the ability to eat, sleep, and learn. With out the help of this organization they are fighting the #1 chronic childhood illness, pediatric dental disease, alone.
If you could just make one donation to his wonderful cause, it would mean the world to these children. Just click the link on the side of this blog (proud partner logo) to get more of the information I have given and please, donate.
I'm also interested in ways to fundraise for them because there are no affiliations in CT and I don't know how to get a fundraiser started. So if any one could be such a big help, please feel free to leave me some ideas! Thank YOU!
