IRVINE, Calif.—Smile Generation helped raise over $650,000 in support of the Pacific Dental Services (PDS) Foundation’s Special Needs Dentistry program.

These funds will be used to improve access to dental care for patients with special needs and provide training for clinicians specializing in this field of dentistry. The fundraising efforts comprised two key components. The first, a 60-day campaign called “Smile for Special Needs,” offered dental service discounts to patients at Smile Generation-trusted dental practices in exchange for a donation to the campaign. This campaign received contributions from over 8,600 individuals, resulting in more than $396,000 in funds raised.

The second component was the weeklong “Stroll for Special Needs 5K” event that brought together supporters across the country in various communities. Over 1,400 participants from 37 states came together to stroll, run, walk, or roll, covering a combined total of 4,547 miles and raising over $254,000 for the cause.
