Miles for Smiles
About
Miles for Smiles combats the oral health problems seen in rural Central America, while also increasing awareness about the importance of dental care on campus. We aim to raise awareness in the campus community about the importance of oral hygiene, an often overlooked part of overall health--most notably through the Miles for Smiles 5K fundraising run. Miles for Smiles won the 2015 Do Good Challenge, and since then, has continued to provide a way for students to make a positive impact on the world. Miles for Smiles aims to educate and inspire students to invest in oral hygiene education for themselves and others. We also help out students (and those interested) on their journey to a dental-related career through DAT info sessions, dental student panels and application workshops when we aren't planning for our 5k run.
