Bright Star Dental in Las Cruces reports another successful Halloween Candy Buy Back took place on Tuesday, Nov. 1. Children and families brought 572 pounds of candy to the dental office to be exchanged for dollar bills. Excited children left with the money firmly in hand, several noting that they planned to use the money for a purchase they have been saving up towards. In addition to children who had received more treats than they could eat, adults also brought candy that wasn’t distributed on Halloween.
The candy will be shipped to Operation Gratitude, a non-profit organization that distributes care packages to military personnel serving overseas. Bright Star Dental also hosts the annual Dentistry From The Heart free dental care day, scheduled for February 3, 2012, and provides five scholarships to graduating high school seniors going into the healthcare field.
