CHARLOTTE, N.C., USA: America’s ToothFairy: National Children’s Oral Health Foundation and IQ Dental Supply took to the golf course recently to take aim at the nation’s No. 1 chronic childhood disease: tooth decay. Held at Galloping Hill Golf Course in Kenilworth, N.J., the “Tee for the ToothFairy” Golf Tournament, sponsored by IQ Dental Supply, hosted representatives from the dental industry for a fun day of golfing for a good cause.

Participants enjoyed 18 holes of golf, a cookout lunch, dinner, and a variety of raffles and prizes. In total, the tournament raised more than $13,000. The proceeds will support delivery of educational and dental treatment services for children in need.
