Smile Dental Clinic and Roadway Express
The Christina’s Smile Children’s Dental Clinic visited Roadway on August 1-3 to deliver quality dental care at no cost to local children in need.Since 1990, Roadway’s freight shipping has maintained and safely transported the clinic to locations around the nation at no charge. In addition, Roadway-sponsored activities raise thousands of dollars for the clinic every year. Founded and managed by Dr. Richard R. Garza in memory of his daughter, Christina, the clinic is housed in two mobile 48-foot trailers.
The clinic, which travels with the PGA TOUR and Champions Tour tournaments, has provided more than $14 million worth of dental care at no cost to more than 36,000 children since its inception.
In 2007, the mobile clinic will treat approximately 2,400 children, providing more than $1 million worth of dental care to children who would not otherwise receive the care they so desperately need.
