Although the holiday's passed, thought it was a good time to remind dental health professionals about the Halloween Candy Buy Back initiative. Dr. Chris Kammer (that's his quote above) established the program as it exists today. The deal is local practitioners pay $1 a pound for kids' Halloween candy. The candy is sent overseas to active U.S. military troops. It's really a quadruple win.....the community shows support for the troops, parents get the candy away from their kids, kids learn a valuable lesson about giving, and the practice gets some great PR,
There's a Web site link that explains how to get involved. Maybe it's too late this year, but there's plenty of time to participate in 2010.
