The event scheduled to hold on Saturday, July 4
at the Civic Centre will be hosted by IK Osakioduwa, renowned anchor of
the Big Brother Reality TV Show. Some of the guests expected include
dentistry-trained cum ace music artiste, Dr. Sid; TemiDollface; Tonye
Garrick; Vice-President of the Nigerian Dental Association, Dr. Funmi
Ashiwaju; and many others from the corporate sphere. The event will be
the first of its kind in the dental healthcare and corporate social
responsibility landscape in Nigeria.
According
to Dr. Amy Traore-Shumbusho, Initiator, Project Smile, the award
ceremony will mark a major milestone in the project phases of the
initiative in that it is the first time there would be an event which
gives opportunity for wider participation of other stakeholders to
exercise and activate their philanthropic values and policies either
entrenched in personal mission or corporate strategy.
“Following
two seasons, it became imperative to restructure the third season to
accommodate wider participation of individuals in addition to the
corporate support structure that has been in place; hence we introduced
the ‘Adopt-a-Smile’ initiative within the ambits of the project. This
was necessitated by the need to ensure that more of the candidates will
be beneficiaries of the program beyond the three stipulated winners. To
this end, we have secured the participation of some dental clinics such
as Smile Dental in Abuja and Family Dental Care in Lagos to support the
initiative with expertise and clinical practice during the smile
makeover phase. At the event, we expect guests to support with financial
pledges to booster the chances of beneficiaries aside the three main
winners.” Dr. Amy explained.
Project Smile 3.0 is currently supported by Oral-B, Cool TV, Wazobia TV, Ikeja City Mall and Pathcare.
