Give Kids a Smile 2008

This annual program took place at the Burlington County College in Pemberton, N.J. to help children get the dental care they need. Here are some quotes from the people that participated:

Dr. Gary Lillie

Riverton, N.J.

“I’ve done this every year it has been held, so this would be my 4^th year.”

“It’s giving back to the community and it acts as a charity for people who cannot afford dental visits or insurance.  It benefits local kids in Burlington county.”

Dr. Robert C. Messina Jr.

President of BCC

“Last year the volunteers provided $73,000 worth of dental care and if it weren’t for the volunteers, this wouldn’t be what it is.”

“This benefits the community, our dental students and especially the kids.”

“The doctors sacrifice a whole pay-day to be here to help the community.”

Vikki Monaghan

Director of College Relations

“This is a nation-wide event and it goes on all over the country on the same day, offering free dental care to children who otherwise wouldn’t receive the proper care.”
