The campaign runs from March 1 until June 30, and 100 percent of the proceeds from teeth whitening procedures done at Stephen T. Deehan, DMD - General and Family Dentistry are contributed directly to the Smiles for Life Foundation. This foundation uses donations from the community to help fund worthy children’s charities and humanitarian work, both locally and around the world.
Tooth whitening patients receive their smile brightening procedure at a discounted rate. They can enhance their own smile while also improving the lives of disadvantaged children.
Since its creation in 1998, the Crown Council’s Smiles For Life Campaign has raised more than $40 million for seriously ill, disabled, and disadvantaged kids thanks to participation from local communities and dental practices. Smiles For Life hopes to continue this tremendous pace for donations in 2018

Half of the donations raised by Crown Council dentists are given to their preferred local children’s charity. The charity Dr. Deehan chose is called “Cure for Kids” organized by the members of Warren County Forest #14 Tall Cedars of Lebanon. Each year they choose a local child with a life-threatening disease to lessen their financial and emotional burden. The other 50% goes to the Smiles For Life Foundation to support its national and international initiatives, including programs in the Dominican Republic, Bolivia, and Guatemala.
Smiles For Life also maintains a strong longtime partnership with the Garth Brooks Teammates for Kids Foundation supporting Child Life Zones in Children’s Hospitals across the United States.
