In October 2011, we participating for the second time in the Operation Gratitude project "Treats for the Troops" or what dentists who participate call it "Operation Halloween Candy Buyback". Here are the stats for the past 2 years:
In 2011, we contributed over 175 pounds of candy for the Troops.
In 2010, we contributed just over 125 pounds of candy for the Troops.
December of 2011 we received a thank you letter from Operation Gratitude, thanking us for our contributions. With our donation they were able to send 100,000 full care packages to men and women overseas. We will be sure to participate next year in a partnership with New Era Dental of Indianapolis for this great cause.
