On November 3, 2010, over 200 families showed up to Growing Smiles to donate candy to our military personnel overseas during the Candy Buyback Program! We collected over 500 pounds of candy (and probably eliminated a whole bunch of cavities too!)
Here is a picture of just part of the candy we received:
The kids had a great time getting a ticket for each pound of candy they donated. Then they entered it in a raffle to win a cool prize, like an XBox 360, a Nintendo DS and lots of other cool prizes.
Thanks again to all of those who participated and to the winners of all the neat prizes for making this such a fun event. We also collected several letters from kids to our service men and women that we will include with the care package. If you missed the event, we will be doing it again in 2011!
