Smiles for Life
Smiles for Life is a non-profit organization that raises money for seriously ill, disabled, and underprivileged children. Over the past few years, the Atlanta Center for Cosmetic Dentistry has raised over $130,000 for this charity by providing professional teeth whitening with 100% of the proceeds going to the charity.
Bert’s Big Adventure
We are presently partnering with Stacey and Bert Weiss of Q100’s The Bert Show. Bert’s Big Adventure is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides a spectacular five-day journey to Walt Disney World® for children with a chronic or terminal illness, along with their families. This trip and the year-round programs that follow each adventure allow participants to:
- Experience events and venues that otherwise could not be afforded.
- Establish lasting friendships with others facing similar challenges.
- Enjoy the gift of intimate family time together where the focus turns from living with an illness to making magical moments.
Boys & Girls Club of Atlanta
During Christmas, instead of buying gifts for each other, we buys toys for underprivileged kids, and Santa Claus makes a visit to a party that we host through the Atlanta Boys and Girls Clubs to distribute the gifts. It is amazing how much of a blessing it is for everyone involved.
Atlanta Union Mission
Also around Christmastime, we have a coat drive for the Atlanta Union Mission. We often visit homeless shelters to distribute food and clothing to bring some cheer and warmth to those there.
St. Pius High School Football Team Mouthguards Donation
Being an avid fan of local football, Dr. Cooper has teamed up with the St. Pius Golden Lions by providing custom pro-style mouth guards to the varsity team. The staff at the Atlanta Center for Cosmetic Dentistry volunteered their time to form and fabricate mouth guards for the team.
Give Back a Smile Program
The AACD Foundation
The Atlanta Center for Cosmetic Dentistry has been proud to be a participating dentist in the Give Back a Smile program for many years. This program provides free dental care to repair the smiles of victims of domestic abuse. Its philosophy and positivity stem from the belief that in using our skills to give back to the community, we can truly appreciate our lives and feel enriched. The Give Back a Smile program is sponsored by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry Charitable Foundation (AACDCF).
Miles for Life Ride
Every year, the Crown Council and Smiles for Life Foundation host an event that combines top-shelf dental continuing education with the love for Harley Davidson motorcycle touring. By day, we explore some of the world’s most breathtaking scenery. Evenings, we gather with our profession’s foremost authorities. All proceedings from this ride are donated to the Smiles for Life Campaign.
