Local Orthodontist in San Francisco to Host Annual Candy Buy Back Program to Benefit Schools

SAN FRANCISCO - Nov. 3, 2014 - PRLog -- Every year, in honor of National Orthodontic Health Month, Image Orthodontics hosts a Candy Buy Back event where patients and the community are encouraged to donate their Halloween candy for cash. The school that brings in the most candy is awarded a check matching the total amount of candy donated.

Last year, the San Francisco and San Jose offices of Image Orthodontics raised over 100 pounds of candy through the Candy Buy Back Program. Argonne Elementary brought in the most candy, resulting in over $100 donated to the school.  The offices hope to surpass that amount this year.

“Giving back to the schools is important to us. We know our schools need assistance especially in these difficult economic times.  We’re so happy our patients love participating in the program so we can help raise money for their schools,” says Rachelle Doyle, Professional Outreach Coordinator at Image Orthodontics.

Halloween is a holiday known for its sweet treats which can cause damage to braces and result in tooth decay if consumed on a regular basis.  Image Orthodontics is working to prevent the negative side effects of the holiday while financially assisting local schools.

This year’s candy buyback will take place November 3^rd through the 7^th.  Participants are encouraged to bring their Halloween candy to any of the participating Image Orthodontic offices located throughout San Francisco and San Jose.   Students will receive $1 for every pound of candy donated. The school that brings in the most candy will receive a check for the total amount donated.  All candy is donated to local organizations.
