Colgate-Palmolive Company

Join the “Smile-a-bration” competition

This year, Colgate-Palmolive Company reached one billion children with its landmark oral health education program Bright Smiles, Bright Futures® (BSBF). Launched in the United States in 1991 and now active in more than 80 countries on six continents, BSBF is among the most far-reaching, successful children’s oral health initiatives in the world, driving better oral health actions, greater awareness and increased access to oral care. The cornerstone of BSBF is an award-winning educational curriculum presented by classroom teachers. In addition, Colgate operates nine mobile dental vans that travel to more than 1,000 U.S. cities and towns to provide free dental screenings, oral health education and treatment referrals to underserved children.

2019 marks four years of bringing BSBF into Boys & Girls Clubs across the country. To celebrate this partnership and its one billion milestone, Colgate is expanding its partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America with a “Smile-a-bration” competition. Children at participating Clubs will use music, dance, art or other creative expressions to share the importance of healthy oral care habits. Winning Clubs will receive a grant from Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures.
