Candy Buyback Program Successful

Dental Associates repeated its highly successful Halloween Candy Buyback Program for the seventh straight year November 3, collecting 1,447 pounds of candy at the offices located in Newtown, Danbury, New Milford, and Trumbull.

The Tooth Fairy and Dr Smile E. Fox visited each office, buying leftover Halloween candy from children at $2 per pound, up to ten pounds.

“Each year we buy back more candy than the previous year,” stated public relations administrator Dawn Rotella. This year, Dental Associates collected 285 pounds more than in 2008, despite a rainy holiday.

Half of the candy is donated to local social service agencies for use in holiday baskets, the other half goes to Operation Gratitude, a volunteer organization based in California that includes it in care packages sent to soldiers overseas.

In the Newtown Dental Associates office on Church Hill Road, 368 pounds of candy were collected during the candy buyback.
