“During last year’s event, we heard from many parents who had lost their jobs, and their dental insurance, due to COVID-19,” says Alyson McCarthy, Chief Executive Officer of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Las Vegas. “For many families, the Smarts & Smiles event is the only way to get their children’s teeth cleaned and examined before returning to school. We’re here to make sure those kids have healthy mouths and confident smiles in the classroom.”

Services on the Care Mobile are made possible through community grants from donors, including the Vegas Golden Knights Foundation, Cox Charities, and Speedway Children’s Charities of Las Vegas.
