Drs. Rushing and Coulter would like to thank everyone who made our Halloween Candy Buy Back a Success. We collected over 100 pounds of candy. Thank you Nashville!
We Want your Candy!
“Dentists must just love Halloween, right? Just think of all those cavities they get to fill!” That is exactly the type of good natured annual ribbing that patients have been directing at their dentists for decades. However in reality there is a nationwide movement of dentists who actually do love Halloween, but for completely different reasons. These are the dentists who buy back candy from their local trick or treaters for $1 dollar per pound and then send the goodies to our troops overseas via Operation Gratitude.
Drs. Rushing and Dr. Coulter and The Nashville Smile Team are proud to participate in their 2nd Halloween Candy Buy Back, an event they foresee to continue to grow. Dr. Rushing and Dr. Coulter will be buying back excess Halloween candy on Tuesday November 1st from 2:30 to 5:30 at their office. They are located at 4809 Trousdale Drive, Nashville, TN 37220.
When the children take their candy to Dr. Rushing and Dr. Coulters, the unopened candy is weighed and the children receive their money and other prizes like flashing Firefly toothbrushes and chances to win prizes ranging from movie tickets, gift cards, or coupons to local restaurants.
Children enjoy doing something to support the troops. Even if it’s just a handful of sweet and delicious remembrances of home, the reports from the field confirm that troop morale is boosted. The children can also get involved by writing letters of support to the troops
Dr. Rushing, Dr. Coulter and the Nashville Smile Team are determined to own that holiday for all of the right reasons and have fun doing it. Using this frightening holiday to bring smiles to parents, kids and our troops overseas, is definitely helping dentists all across the land change the face of Halloween for the better.
The concept of a Buy Back has been embraced nationally. With the extra support, Operation Gratitude has a goal to send 150,000 holiday and patriotic care packages to the Military, which is 50,000 more than last year. The Buy Back dentists want to make sure that each and every care package has a new tooth brush in it.
