The EscaRosa Dental Society and Pensacola State College are gearing up for the 2012 Give Kids a Smile Day! The information is being passed out at the school where I work, but I thought putting the information here on my blog as well might help spread the work to people who might not know about this great event.
Give Kids a Smile is an annual day where local dentists team up to provide FREE dental services to underserved children. Each year, Escambia and Santa Rosa counties team up to provide one great day of these very helpful services to families in the 2-county area who might not otherwise be able to provide for their childrens' dental needs for a variety of reasons.
► Who is eligible?
Children aged 4 to 18, whose families cannot otherwise afford dental treatment are eligible.
► When is this event?
The voluntary pre-screening will take place on Friday, March 30, 2012 from 12p.m. (noon) until 4:30p.m. While the pre-screening is voluntary, being pre-screened can significantly cut down on your wait time for Saturday.
Give Kids a Smile Day 2012 will be on Satudrday, March 31 from 8a.m. until 4p.m.
Both the Friday pre-screening day and the Saturday dental event are run on a "first come, first served" basis.
► Where is Give Kids a Smile?
→ Warrington Campus ←
5555 W. Hwy. 98, Pensacola
► Don't have a car?
ECAT (Escambia County Area Transit) will be providing FREE RIDES to the Pensacola State College campus for patients and their families on Saturday, March 31, 2012. As far as I know, this free transportation is not being made available for the pre-screening day on Friday.
► Need More Information?
If you have questions or need further information, contact Amy Smith, the GKAS Day Coordinator.
