Kool Smiles, a leading provider of quality dental care in underserved communities nationwide, has announced its first annual My Kool Smiles Classroom Grant Program, sponsored by the Benevis Foundation.

Teachers and educators in the community go above and beyond in providing quality education, often reaching into their own pockets for funding classroom supplies.

As a way of saying “Thank You,” Kool Smiles is awarding five $1,000 grants to K-5 teachers or educators who are going above and beyond in promoting dental health in their classrooms. Grants will be used for classroom supplies or school needs.
