The vans travel to over 1,000 towns and reach more than ten million children and families in a typical year. • Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC)/Trade Partner: We leverage customer relationships to drive excitement a nd incremental merchandising support in participating stores. • Professional Partnerships: We partner with government health agencies, non-profit organizations (NPOs) and dental associ ations to expand the reach of oral care education around the world. • Digital: Educational resources are provided online, including downloadable teachers’ guides, story books, wall poste rs, family take home brochures, videos, songs and oral health games. • Employee Engagement: Our employees are often involved in BSBF programs, engaging with the community or teach ing their families about oral health. Bright Smiles Kids Awards In February 2021, Bright Smiles, Bright Futures® launched the Bright Smiles Kids Awards, a first-ever virtual program celebrating National Children’s Dental Health Month. Groups of children across the nation were encouraged to become champions of their own health and submit a video showcasing their creativity. The Bright Smiles Kids Awards received entries from schools and organizations featuring children singing, dancing, cooking, coding, participating in skits and puppet shows and creating art projects. We voted for and celebrated our winners at an engaging live and virtual event, where our National Award Winners took home grant prizes to support their organizations. The event was so full of energy and enthusiasm that we look forward to relaunching the program in 2022.
