Operation Cash-For-Candy Now Underway

Its almost Halloween time and "Operation Cash-for-Candy" is now officially underway! Dr. Ostler is organizing several healthcare offices in the region to participate in a candy buy-back initiative aimed at saving teeth and sending the candy to where it can do some good - to our military soldiers! Operation Cash-for-Candy is the Tri-Cities newest way to fight the war on Halloween candy overload and tooth cavities, plus a great way to say thanks to the brave men and women serving our country.

During the first week of November, our office along with other select offices will “buy back” your children’s uneaten, unwrapped “leftover” Halloween candy. The candy will be shipped overseas to our troops as part of the Operation Gratitude project. Children and parents will also have the opportunity to sign cards for our troops as well. When you stop in we will pay your little ones $1 per pound of candy they donate. They can choose to keep the money or donate it back to help pay for shipping the candy to the soldiers. Plus – they will also be registered to win some nice prizes.

Why send candy to the troops? Because the brave men and women in the military deserve a treat, plus they use the candy to work with the 'locals' to get information about explosive devices and other dangers. You see, when your kids donate candy to the troops, they are really saving lives! We hope you'll join with us in thanking the troops this Halloween by donating leftover and excess candy.
