From Crayons to Schools with Wellesley Dentists
Wellesley Dental Group hosting Cradles to Crayons' Ready for School fundraiser, aims to raise $5000 for charities.
A group of Wellesley dentists want kids to go to school not only with a great smile, but with clothes and school supplies.
Last week, Wellesley Dental Group announced a Cradles to Crayons fundraising drive for the charity's *Ready for School* program. The program aims to give kids the things they need to start a school year right.
To do this, they make "kidpacks," and fill them with clothes, books and school supplies--as well as giving kids a brand new backpack for classes.
In the press release about the program (seen on their fundraising page), Wellesley Dental Group has promised to match donations with credit towards a teeth whitening service. If you give $25, you get $25 off of your next whitening session. Donors do also have the option to donate anonymously.
The goal for the town is $5000, and the drive has 53 days remaining, according to their fundraising page.
You can also drop off donations for Cradles to Crayons at any time, as Wellesley Dental Group is also a permanent drop-off location.
