Save a Smile,
Sitting in a dental chair isnt always the easiest or most enjoyable thing to do for little kids. Having
someone poke and probe in your mouth can be terrifying and sometimes even traumatizing. But
for children who have major dental decay and teeth problems, not fxing the problem can be a
serious setback. Untreated tooth decay can lead to more serious diseases and can greatly affect
the quality of childrens lives, but unfortunately many families cant afford and dont have access to
treatment. Understanding these facts is imperative for dentists who treat children on a daily basis.
Those at Healthy Smiles make it their mission to provide a way for the underserved to gain access
to dental care. Healthy Smiles also makes sure to treat each child with care and recognizes that
each case is unique and needs to be handled accordingly.
When our public relations campaign team walked into the offce of Healthy Smiles for Kids of
Orange County, we were extremely excited to see frst-hand what its dental offce had to
offer. We already knew the non-proft performed general dental checkups as well as offered
teeth cleaning and endodontic treatments, but we didnt have a full grasp on the other aspects of
Healthy Smiles services. As we toured the facility, we immediately realized how important
providing education to low-income families is to the organization. Instead of having a regular
waiting lobby, here children are encouraged to explore the Tooth Fairy Learning Center, which
presents them with the opportunity to access interactive computer stations, nutritional and
hygiene stations, and a kid-friendly science lab while they await their appointments.
After meeting with Healthy Smiles, experiencing its mission for ourselves and learning how much
the non-proft depends upon government funding, we recognized how important it is to raise
awareness of the non-profts mission in order to increase individual and corporate donations
from members of the Orange County community. Seeing an increase in donations is crucial to the
future success of Healthy Smiles, especially since the passing of Proposition 10, which will
eventually cut government funding. Because of this proposed legislature, Healthy Smiles will be
forced to fnd new ways to raise money to continue its fght against tooth decay.
Our campaign tactics are aimed at helping Healthy Smiles communicate its reason for existence to
potential donors in hopes that the non-proft can establish strong donor relations in the near
future. We know that if people are made conscious of how prevalent pediatric dental decay is and
how many families in Orange County cant even afford to treat their childrens dental problems,
then they will be greatly encouraged to, save a smile, brighten a future.

Save a Smile,
Background
In February 2007, 12 year old Deamonte Driver lost his life after undergoing two brain surgeries and eight weeks
of care and therapy. His terminal battle was due to a bacterial infection that spread to his brain from an infected
tooth all of which could have been avoided with simple, routine dental services. The lack of access to affordable
dental care prevented Deamonte from receiving the preventative and reactive treatment he needed. His death
revealed a devastating truth about the nations limited availability of dental health care for underserved, low-
income communities (Edelman).
Tooth decay is the frst and foremost chronic disease plaguing children in the United States (Children Now).
Approximately 72 percent of children under age fve in underserved California communities have untreated
cavities. In Orange County alone, one in three children suffers from untreated dental decay (Giasone). The
country-wide need for pediatric dental care serving low-income families has been a recurring issue many
communities face and was recently emphasized with studies released by the Pew Center indicating the severity of
the oral health care crisis. Since 2009, California received one of the lowest rankings in the country because of its
lack of quality oral health care (Lauer).
The need for oral health care in California has been addressed by many county and state nonproft
organizations and programs through community clinics over the years, few of which are still in existence. The
suspension of the Childrens Dental Disease Prevention Program caused California to lose its only state-wide
program that provided school-based preventive oral health services (Children Now). Childrens Health Initiatives
expanded oral health care in California with programs including Medi-Cal, Healthy Families, Kaiser Child Health
Plan and California Kids (Diringer). Dental hygienists also participate in community outreach programs with local
departments of public health, Head Start programs, school districts, dental and dental hygiene schools, and Boys
& Girls Clubs during National Childrens Dental Health Month (PRWEB). All of these programs rely heavily on
volunteer assistance and government and donor funding.
First 5 California launched the $10 million Early Childhood Oral Health Initiative, one of the few programs that
emphasize the importance of oral health care in very young children (First 5 Oral Health). In Orange County, First
5 is called Children and Families Commission and commits to $1 million annually to help support Healthy Smiles
initiatives and other nonproft programs for families in Orange County.
Trends in California dental care organizations include a bicultural and bilingual staff to communicate more
effectively with clients, especially of Hispanic and Asian ethnicities. In the last several years there has been a
push to train members of the dental community to accommodate pediatric children below the age of six in
local clinics and practices (PRWEB). An increased popularity of using mobile dentist vans has extended dental
services into remote locations or underserved neighborhoods, allowing children to receive treatment who
might not have the means or mobility to visit a dental clinic (Health Magazine Staff).
In 2003 John C. "Jack" Shaw, co-founder and Vice Chairman of Orange County nonproft El Viento created to aid
youth development, recognized the severity of the dental health care shortage and knew the children of
Orange County needed the communitys help. Shaw worked tirelessly to found Healthy Smiles for Kids of
Orange County to address the countys desperate need for improved pediatric dental care. With the help of
co-founder Dottie Andrews, founder of prenatal care nonproft organization MOM, Shaw began recruiting a
dedicated group of talented health care professionals and community leaders with the shared belief Its all
about the kids! Together with the Children & Families Commission of Orange County, the passionate group of
individuals got the ball rolling on the visionary dental service organization for underserved children in Orange
County. Through an extensive combination of prevention, education, and treatment programs, Healthy Smiles is
able to serve and beneft thousands of deserving children every year.
Background
Numerous dental providers serve children including Share Our Selves, one of the largest volunteer-based
organizations providing health services for homeless and low-income families of Orange County, Smile for a
Lifetime, a national nonproft organization that provides free treatments to needy children, and Lestonnac Free
Clinic which provides free, comprehensive medical exams and dental care to the poor in Orange County. There
are a few programs in Orange County that offer similar services as Healthy Smiles, but Healthy Smiles remains
the frst and only facility in Orange County to provide nitrous oxide services to low-income and uninsured
patients and is the only comprehensive educational, preventative, and treatment-based organization of its kind in
Orange County, having served an estimated 8,500 underserved children annually in Orange County
communities.
There is a current need for more dental clinics that serve pediatric clients, a need to facilitate educational
opportunities for pediatric dental training and to extend sub-contracts to community health clinics that
currently do not have existing dental programs. An additional hurdle in the oral health care battle includes the
proposed California health care funding cuts outlined in Proposition 10 that have the potential to drastically
affect nonproft organizations including Healthy Smiles (CaliforniaHealthline).

Brighten a Future
Situation Analysis
Today Healthy Smiles for Kids of Orange County is a leading organization in non-proft pediatric dental
care, dedicating itself to improve the oral health and well being of Orange Countys underserved children.
Through collaborative programs, Healthy Smiles is proud to offer affordable and accessible
dental treatments, interactive oral health and decay prevention education, advocacy and prevention
services. Healthy Smiles is able to reach kids with extensive prevention and treatment services available
through the Smile Center and The Smile Mobile. With the collaboration through CHOC hospital, we are
able to accommodate special needs children and patients with severe dental issues, many of which would
go untreated without affordable access to pediatric dental care (Bear).
Located in the Childrens Health and Dental Centers state-of-the-art building in Garden Grove, the
7,000-square-foot Smile Center is in a benefcial site to serve its uninsured and underserved patients
ranging from infants through junior high school students at or below the poverty level. Healthy Smiles
serves all races and ethnicities but has a primarily Hispanic and Vietnamese patient-base.
Proactive in its commitment to reach underserved children, the organization provides care to uninsured
families on a sliding-fee scale. It currently accepts Denti-Cal insurance, the dental component of Medi-Cal,
in addition to accepting Healthy Smiles insurance upon referral from patients primary care
provider. An additional service within the Smile Center, SMILELINEOC provides information on dental
treatments, eligibility requirements, insurance, appointment costs, and referrals to low-cost community
dental care facilities in Orange County.
A recent threat to Healthy Smiles extensive services is the proposed California health care
funding cuts in Proposition 10. A major, immediate concern is that the governor wants to cut Proposition
10, which would freeze one third of the organizations major funding (Storey). With the government
funding cuts, Healthy Smiles would lose an estimated $1.5 million a year. Corporations and foundations
gave an estimated $4 million to Healthy Smiles, which will only provide enough funding for one year. If
Proposition 10 is cut, the organization will not have enough funding. The consensus is to protect its
prevention and education programs but could prove diffcult with diminished government support
(Storey).
A large area of concern within the organization is reaching more potential donors and extending its donor
pool, which is particularly crucial if the aforementioned legislation is approved. Healthy Smiles needs to
increase the marketing of its mission and boost brand awareness in a cost-effective way that the
organization can afford (Storey). Researching how the county views similar non-proft organizations is im-
portant in enhancing the organizations identity, and employing better communication with the community
is crucial to expand the organizations visibility in Orange County.
Another diffculty Healthy Smiles faces is acquiring donors who are dentists. The hospital donor
community comprises a large percentage of donations and dental professionals volunteer their time to
serve patients, but the Orange County dental community as a whole has the potential to become a larger
supporter of the organizations pediatric dental efforts (Storey).

Brighten a Future
Core Problem
If Healthy Smiles does not increase community awareness about the severity of pediatric dental
decay and the importance of overall oral health for children in Orange County, the organization
will not achieve donations needed to help sustain it through the upcoming government budget
cuts and will ultimately have to limit its education programs, prevention services, and clinical
hours of operation.

Key Publics
Donors in Orange County
This public consists of individuals, corporations and foundations that have previously donated to
the organization, plan to in the future or are unaware of the organization, but have the resources to
donate. Currently, Healthy Smiles does not have a large amount of individual donors, but does have a few
corporate donors and relies heavily on grants for funding. Therefore, increasing the number of individual
donors will be very benefcial to the organization. For these individual donors, the focus needs to be on
Generation X and people ages 50 and older. This population includes those who are either established
in their careers or are retired and willing to donate a small portion of their discretionary incomes to the
organization on an annual basis.
In addition, these people most likely have children and/or grandchildren, which makes them likely to
be interested in helping improve the health of children in the community. The majority of Generation X is
busy with their careers and the idea of donating is attractive because its convenient and enables them to
help those less fortunate. Those who are in their retirement years may decide they want to give back to
their community by donating a small portion of their life savings.
As for corporations, these donors are able to give larger amounts of money due to their fnancial
power. It would be benefcial for Healthy Smiles to increase their corporate donors because if the
donating companies are well-known and respected, then being affliated with them can help leverage
Healthy Smiles brand and mission. More specifcally, corporate donors encompass all types of businesses
located in both Orange and Los Angeles Countiesfrom sports teams to restaurants to retail stores
and value corporate social responsibility. Therefore, donating money or supplies to an organization like
Healthy Smiles is attractive and can also enhance the companies trust and credibility among the
community at large.
Self-interest:
Becoming part of a bigger cause, improving personal or corporate image,
being invited to donor events, helping those less fortunate, community recognition, seeing a
return on investment/ability to write off taxes.
Infuentials:
Friends who are also donors, community leaders in Orange County, business leaders
in Orange County, celebrities, dental-related organizations, retired/practicing dentists.

Key Publics
Dentists and Educators in Orange County
A partnership with Healthy Smiles will provide pediatric dentists with frsthand knowledge of the
educational programs and dental treatments employed to prevent and remedy the most severe cases
of dental disease and decay plaguing Orange Countys underserved children. Healthy Smiles is
sustained primarily through the support of its donors, 50 percent of which are local businesses. As a
result, it aims to expand its donor pool by targeting dentists, a key public which has not yet
contributed to the growth of the organization.
In addition, teaming up with local schools in Orange County will allow the Smile Mobile to travel to
elementary schools, in order to educate children on proper oral health and well-being.
Joining forces with Healthy Smiles will allow dentists and educators to contribute
to eradicating Americas leading chronic childhood illness, tooth decay, enhance their
trust, increase their visibility and favorable public opinion, and gain valuable knowledge
of treatments used to remedy the most severe cases of decay and dental disease in
Orange County.

Key Publics
Orange County Low-Income Families with Children (Ages 0-17)
This public is made up of low-income families living in Orange County, specifcally Caucasian, Hispanic,
and Vietnamese families who are in need of a dental plan for their children. These families are an
important key public for Healthy Smiles because one out of every three children in Orange County
suffers from untreated dental decay, which is higher than the California statewide average. As a result,
it is up to parents to ensure their children receive the treatment and education necessary for
excellent oral health. Although it is diffcult for undeserved families to fnd affordable, high quality
pediatric oral health care in such an affuent area, Healthy Smiles provides accessible services to
Orange County residents. The organization educates underserved families on the importance of oral
health care in addition to the life-threatening risks and negative side effects poor oral health can have
on a childs everyday life. Along with the dental services Healthy Smiles provides, families are also
educated on proper nutrition and oral cleaning procedures.
Self-interest:
Infuentials:

Healthy Smiles can travel to your childs school with its Smile Mobile and provide your
child with oral screenings, teeth cleaning services, and fuoride treatments as well as
educate your child on proper nutrition and dental habits.
Due to cultural differences and lack of education, oral health is not seen as important
as medical health. You may not be aware of how vital it is to teach your children to
brush their teeth on a daily basis and take other preventative measures to reduce the
likelihood that your children could suffer from tooth decay or other oral problems.
As a leader in pediatric dentistry, Healthy Smiles makes it their mission to inform you
and your children on proper oral care. Not only does Healthy Smiles provide
education, but it will provide dental services that ft your childs needs. Because the
Smile Mobile can travel to your childs school, it is a convenient way for your child to

oral health, but it will also improve your childs overall health. Oral decay is a childs frst
disease and with Healthy Smiles help, you can prevent your child from having to
experience it.

Smile Mobile onto school campuses.
Go door-to-door and meet with principals and administrators to talk about Healthy Smiles
outreach program. Personal interaction will enhance our ability to convince school
decision makers that educational programs are necessary, even if teachers are wary of
adding programs that may detract from class time.
Presenting the benefts of the outreach program to PTAs in schools that are on the fence
about including the program in their curriculum.
Send brochures and personal letters to administrators and faculty to encourage positive
attitudes toward including prevention education in curriculum.
Recruit high school drama classes to put on short educational musicals/skits that tour to
elementary schools and teach kids healthy habits in an entertaining way.
a) Schools can be receptive to allowing other students to educate children in an
assembly environment, more so than having health professionals disrupt class time
with presentations. Positive student role models show young children something to
aspire to and presents positive images about growing up.
b) Skits are tooth fairy themed and incorporate songs and dances that can be
interactive for children but are also highly informational.

Strategies & Tactics
Infuence families and parents in the Orange County community to use educational
materials, exposure on proper oral health practices, and pass on oral health knowledge to
their children.
Create informative online videos on Vimeo that illustrate how pediatric oral health is
treated in the facility.
a) This video will highlight aspects of the Garden Grove Smile Center
including Dotties Kitchen where children can learn to prepare healthy meals.
Videos will include dental professional interviews, clips of procedures on
patients, a highlight of the anesthesia services offered that sets Healthy Smiles
apart from competitors.
Create a webisode series of educational videos that parents can watch with their
children to learn the ways to maintain good oral health.
a) The videos will be interactive and encourage children to practice along with
the demonstrators as they teach how to properly brush and foss. There will
be an emphasis on healthy nutrition and the importance of making healthy
habits a fun, daily routine.
Host oral health demonstration sessions at local churches and daycare centers.
a) Incorporating quick, informative education programs in places where the
community already gathers will extend preventative knowledge to community
members. The demonstrations will be put on by volunteers in tooth fairy and
Flossosaurus costumes that will have prevention quick facts pamphlets to give
to families at the end of the program.
Send fyers and email blasts to parents that include healthy recipes and oral cleaning
methods that can be taught to their children.
a) This tactic will be used less frequently than a monthly e-newsletter but will
be targeted directly to parents.
Design a personalized blog that will assist families to understand the importance of oral
health.
a) The blog will incorporate nutrition information and basic prevention
information but will also extend to overall health tips to maintain healthy
families.
Partner with Pretend City! and have a Dentist for the Day exhibit with a real dental chair
and pretend dental tools.
a) The dental profession will be highlighted to erase fear of the dentist in children
and get them excited about the various aspects of taking care of your teeth.

Recommendation
Flossosaurus Rex
Healthy Smiles should incorporate a mascot spokesperson into its public relations plan in order to appeal
to its patients, get information out better, and increase brand recognition. The character that we
developed to represent Healthy Smiles is a dinosaur named, Flossosaurus Rex.
Flossosaurus promotes healthy eating and brushing habits that children and patients of Healthy Smiles can
learn from. Having an actual mascot will help Healthy Smiles educate its patients about the importance
of oral health, especially since children are more likely to listen to a friendly dinosaur rather than a doctor,
which can be intimidating. Similar to the American Dental Associations mascot, Dudley the Dinosaur,
Healthy Smiles could make a story about how Dudley and Flossosaurus were related to each other. For
example, Flossosaurus is Dudleys cousin or younger brother.
The mascot could also be used at events or workshops hosted by Healthy Smiles in order to create a
more personal connection between the company and its patients. Overall, by associating a fun character

News Release
New Collaboration with Santa Ana School and Childrens Nonproft Healthy Smiles to Combat
Pediatric Oral Health Issues
SANTA ANA, Calif. - April 6, 2011 In an effort to expand its reach to more Orange County
low-income children, Healthy Smiles for Kids of Orange County has forged a new partnership with Santa
Ana Valley High School to screen and treat more children on-site with The Smile Mobile, a dentists offce
on wheels.
The partnership will begin during the fall 2011 school semester and last through the 2011-12 academic
school year. The community outreach program will include treatment, cleanings, and interactive prevention
education for children in the surrounding neighborhood.
Healthy Smiles' Outreach Preventative Team screened, treated and educated 7,108 children
throughout schools in Orange County during the 2009-10 school year, and with the addition of the
Valley High location will serve hundreds more underserved local children. The Smile Mobile has previously
brought prevention programs to 37 schools in nine different Orange County school districts.
According to Liz Bear, CEO of Healthy Smiles, For many children and families, fnding and receiving dental
care is a challenge because of transportation issues, and many parents cant afford to take time off work
to visit the dentist. The Smile Mobile outreach program often treats many elementary-aged children for
their very frst time, who otherwise would not have received the important fuoride and sealant
treatments kids need to ensure oral health.
The Smile Mobile is a fully functional, wheelchair accessible, two-chair dental facility in a converted RV
unit. Its mobility allows the Healthy Smiles team to reach underserved children in their own
neighborhoods, many of which would not receive dental attention without the ease of accessibility that
The Smile Mobile affords. It focuses on assisting underserved, low-income children with limited to no
health insurance for dental procedures including oral screenings, teeth cleanings, x-rays, sealant and
fuoride varnish applications. Its prevention program includes an educational exhibit with an
underwater, sea life theme that teaches children and families the importance of daily oral care, routine
dental visits and proper food nutrition.
Our goal at Healthy Smiles is to eradicate tooth decay in children, which is the frst and foremost chronic
childhood disease, said Bear.
About Healthy Smiles
Healthy Smiles for Kids of Orange County was founded in 2003 by El Viento co-founder and Vice

Save a Smile,
Feature Article
Theres Something for Santa Ana Elementary School Students to Smile About
SANTA ANA, Calif.- Five-year-old Neveah Alvarado has never met a dentist. In fact, one in four Califor-
nian children have never been to a dentist, according to the health advocacy group, California Healthcare
Foundation.
Healthy Smiles for Kids of Orange County is changing this statistic for Santa Anas Adams Elementary
School. The newest project by Healthy Smiles, the Smile Mobile visited Adams students for an afternoon
about oral healthcare.
Adams Elementarys students rarely visit the dentist or doctor, as over sixty percent of the childrens
parents do not have any medical insurance due to high costs, said Adams principal Melanie Champion, if
it was not for Healthy Smiles Smile Mobile, it is very unlikely that our students would visit a dentist, she
said.
The Smile Mobile RV unit, is a two-chair dental facility, on wheels, providing oral screenings, teeth
cleanings, x-rays and sealant/fuoride varnish applications in a child-friendly atmosphere. Funded by the
Pacifc Life Foundation, it has increased access to dental care for uninsured and underinsured children.
With wheelchair accessibility, underwater sea life paintings and childrens television programs the Smile
Mobile allows to visit the dentist without fear.
I thought the dentist was scary, but I got to dance like the tooth fairy and eat apples, said Alvarado, I
want to go every day.
The Smile Mobile visit includes an education exhibit teaching children and families the importance of daily
care, routine dental visits and proper food nutrition.
A Santa Ana Elementary School student gets a oral screening on one of the dental chairs inside
Healthy Smiles for Kids of Orange Countys Smile Mobile.

Why Oral Health Care is so Important
Executive Bio
Dottie Andrews, secretary and treasurer of Healthy Smiles for Kids of Orange County, has
dedicated herself to helping underserved women and their children for the past 32 years. Her
extensive knowledge about nonproft organizations comes from her experience with developing and
implementing various programs in the Orange County area.
In 1978, after giving birth to her third daughter who was critically ill, Andrews helped establish the frst
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) parent support group at the Childrens Hospital of Orange County
(CHOC) one year later. That led me to help start a national organization which furthered education for
both medical professionals and parents of critically ill newborns, said Andrews.
In 1988, she became the director of community services at the March of Dimes, a nonproft aiming to
improve the health of babies. Four years later, Andrews helped form a perinatal task force, which led to
the development of a new nonproft called MOMS Orange County, in which she held her position as
founding executive director. Today, MOMS is very well-known in the community and is led by an
enthusiastic CEO and dedicated board, said Andrews. MOMS Orange County focuses on providing
programs and services to help mothers and their families have healthy pregnancies and healthy babies.
In the early 2000s, Andrews was asked by the Children & Families Commission to assist with the
development of yet another new nonproft, which would be dedicated to pediatric oral health for
underserved children of Orange County. She was introduced to the founding board chairman, John C.
(Jack) Shaw, and together they developed the business plan and treatment services of Healthy Smiles for
Kids of Orange County in 2003.

Andrews passion and commitment for the betterment of her community is demonstrated through her
current positions as the director of community outreach at St. Joseph Hospital, her emeritus status on the
MOMS board of directors, and her dedication to Healthy Smiles for Kids of Orange County.
It seems my passion is to see a problem, think of solutions, bring the right people together, and to make
something happen, said Andrews.
Andrews and her husband currently reside in Mission Viejo, Calif.

Direct Mail Piece
Message on the rolled paper inside the foss case: As you may know, one in three children in
Orange County have untreated cavities from lack of access to routine dental care. Healthy
Smiles for Kids of Orange County provides important treatment and prevention services to
uninsured and low-income kids who cant afford basic dental care, but we need your help to
continue our mission to treat the underserved. Help drill out the decay in your community by
donating to Healthy Smiles. You can support a childs oral health care for one year with a
one-time donation of only $25. Save a smile and brighten a future today, visit
www.healthysmilesoc.org for more information on How To Help
There will be several direct mail initiatives targeted to different key publics. This particular
direct mail piece addresses the dentists who do not volunteer or currently donate their time
to Healthy Smiles. It was important not to use Healthy Smiles adages like help eradicate tooth
decay because of the paradox it presents dentists- without oral problems, dentists wouldnt be
making money on treatments and procedures. The message instead is to impress upon them
the importance of helping kids who cant afford to visit clinics like theirs because of little to no
insurance and means.
The message will be printed on a narrow piece of paper, rolled up and placed inside a plastic
branded foss container. The inside lid of the case is branded with the campaign tagline Save
a Smile, Brighten a Future. The receiver will unroll the message as if it were regular foss. The
direct mail piece is intended to create interest from prospective donors, presented in a way that
will intrigue them to recieve the entire message from the organization

Website Redesign
The website redesign focused on making it easier to navigate around and to focus in
on the donation aspect of the page. When one goes to the website, their eyes will im-
mediately go to the middle part where people can donate to the organization. A Kids
Zone was added to the website as an initiative for children to play interactive and
education games to give them guidance on proper oral health habits.

addresses the dentists who do not volunteer or currently donate their time to Healthy Smiles. It was
important not to use Healthy Smiles adages like help eradicate tooth decay because of the paradox it
presents to dentists - without oral problems, dentists wouldnt be making money on treatments and
procedures. The message instead is to impress upon them the importance of helping kids who cant afford
to visit clinics like theirs because of little to no insurance and means.
The message will be printed on a narrow piece of paper, rolled up and placed inside a plastic branded foss
container. The inside lid of the case is branded with the campaign tagline Save a Smile, Brighten a Future.
The receiver will unroll the message as if it were regular foss. The direct mail piece is intended to create
interest from prospective donors, presented in a way that will intrigue them to receive the entire message
from the organization.
Message on the rolled paper inside the foss case:
As you may know, one in three children in Orange County have untreated cavities from lack of access to
routine dental care. Healthy Smiles for Kids of Orange County provides important treatment and
prevention services to uninsured and low-income kids who cant afford basic dental care, but we need
your help to continue our mission to treat the underserved. Help drill out the decay in your community by
donating to Healthy Smiles. You can support a childs oral health care for one year with a one-time
donation of only $25. Save a smile and brighten a future today, visit www.healthysmilesoc.org for more

Board and Fundraising Interviews
a. Dottie Andrews, Co-Founder and Board Member of Healthy Smiles
Speaking with Dottie was important for historical background of the organization,
especially since we were unable to make contact with the founder, Jack Shaw. Dottie created
the original business model when Healthy Smiles was launched in 2003 with the aim to act as
an umbrella for dental health care for children in Orange County. Dotties interview was
extensive and gave us great insight into programs the organization has previously tried and
failed. Dottie also let us in on where the board wants to see the organization in the future.
Results of a focus group Healthy Smiles conducted several years ago revealed that
although parents are aware of the methods to ensure oral health, they simply do not enforce
them. Dottie expressed the need for fun and nonthreatening parent education that spreads
awareness of the importance of oral health care. She said the best time to educate parents and
children is when they are in the chair for a dental visit. According to Dottie, the message that
Healthy Smiles has previously sent doesnt produce the reaction it desires because its goal to
eradicate tooth decay doesnt sell to most people. As a result, she would like to see us pro-
mote a message that tooth decay is the frst disease for (all) kids. Additionally, Dottie ex-
pressed the challenges they face reaching younger demographics effectively. An area of concern
she believed needed to be addressed:
-0-5 year olds: Baby bottle tooth decay. Parents need to be educated that
weening their children off a bottle and onto anything other than water will decay
their teeth before they are even fully formed
-6-10 year olds: This age group is the most diffcult for them to reach because
they do not yet respond to messages that appeal to vanity like 10-12 year olds
do
With 30 years of nonproft experience, Dottie gave us insight into how to conduct
community outreach more effectively. She suggested a spokesperson from the community
would be relevant to the organizations message but they must have a real passion for the
organization (not simply a celebrity endorsement).
With the threats that Prop 10 poses to Healthy Smiles funds, Dottie believes the frst
service to be discontinued is prevention education. The board would still ideally like to see
more involvement in Orange County schools, more subcontracts with clinics that dont
currently have dental services and more school-based services with the SmileMobile to expand
outreach to dental providers in the community who will beneft from an education program of
their own to cultivate skills and serve more pediatric patients.
b. Jeanette Storey, Director of Marketing, PR, and Fundraising
Although Jeanette is our client liaison, she is also the only person responsible for the
marketing, community relations, and donor relations for Healthy Smiles. The interview
conducted with her was more in-depth about the communication strategies and challenges and
fundraising background than in the client interview conducted previously.
Healthy Smiles has zero donors. Out of the approximate 200 people associated with
the organization, most only give under $100 as a onetime donation. There is no donor
loyalty from individuals and the vast majority of funds it receives are grants from corporations
72
Save a Smile,
Original Research
or the government. Healthy Smiles wants to expand its fundraising efforts by creating a campaign for
people with higher interest and lower capacity. Most of the people currently involved in the
organization are high level members in the county but are in-kind donors, contributing time rather
than money. To increase fundraising efforts, a campaign for $25 a month to support a childs oral
health for a year may call more people in the community to action because it is economically feasible.
The messaging efforts havent been well received because selling profound oral problems
isnt as relevant to people because it doesnt seem as important to them as overall medical health
care is, and often people are more inclined to donate to programs like childhood diabetes.The three
major stakeholders in the organization are private donors, corporations and foundations, and
legislators. Advocacy is very important for the organization and Jeanette believes a campaign to unite
the fragmented Orange County with a We are one OC message may be effective in gaining a more
universal support from its stakeholders.
Jeanette explained that Healthy Smiles has almost 150 in-kind donors and does not want to
recruit more volunteers because that would further stretch its resources and with the proposed
budget cuts extending subcontracts isnt the main focus. Extending the communication reach,
developing brand awareness in the community, and highlighting the importance of the cause is
Healthy Smiles main objectives with the campaign we are creating. They do not have printed or
web-based literature available and desperately need to expand its communication channels to reach
more people in the community, and enable to ability to track the organizations success to appeal to
more donors in the future.

Management Interviews
a. Jaime Bravo, Community Relations Associate
Interviewing Jaime helped our team understand the necessary improvements needed for
Healthy Smiles of Orange Countys social media. He explained to us that the organizations
Facebook and Twitter pages are progressing gradually, but needed to fnd ways to add more
contacts, friends and potential volunteers through health businesses. Healthy Smiles goal is to draw
traffc where comments are related to something more personal, such as highlighting a childs frst
visit to the dental offce and Smile Mobile visits to local schools.
One of greatest challenges regarding social media is the availability of staff members time to
work on the websites and content through updates with a new layout. The organization needs to
take advantage of utilizing the YouTube page by showcasing examples of what Healthy Smiles does
for the Orange County community. This interview helped understand that Healthy Smiles must
reorganize and take advantage of the different social media outlets as well as re-editing and
designing the website. With these changes, Healthy Smiles can raise awareness in the community,
including potential donors.
b. Liz Simpson, Coordinator of School Based Prevention Services
Speaking with Liz, we learned that her job includes bringing Healthy Smiles outstanding
dental services to Orange Countys elementary schools with the Smile Mobile. On average, the
organization screens more than 600 children in course of the year with its portable two-chair
dental facility. The Smile Mobile is used for treatments including restoration and prevention. One
key challenge includes decreases in funding for the Smile Mobile, which Healthy Smiles is working
to fx by targeting high schools in the Santa Ana district. This gave our team a better understanding
of how Healthy Smiles is trying to raise funding by broadening its target audience. The organization
also plans to expand its facilities by opening a new clinic near one of Orange Countys local school
districts, where it will provide parent, teacher, and child education. To aid Healthy Smiles in this
endeavor, we plan to come up with creative strategies to advance its outreach to high schools.

Client Interview
Jeanette Storey, Director of Development
The informative client interview with Jeanette Storey provided our team with enormous insight
into the goals, challenges, and opportunities of Healthy Smiles current public relations program.
Ultimately, it served to solidify our understanding of the organization, which will allow us to maximize
our campaign by combining efforts to advocate for Healthy Smiles cause, improve areas of weakness,
and promote strengths and successes.
Our visit to the Smile Center provided frsthand experience of Healthy Smiles fully staffed
dental center, where we witnessed patients receiving treatments and toured the facility. The rooms
where patients are given educational, diagnostic, preventative and restorative care were outstanding. In
fact, the quality care provided is one of Healthy Smiles greatest strengths, and it is also what sets it far
ahead of any other nonproft organization of its kind. Its USC pediatric program and new dental clinic
at CHOC contribute to the high quality care its patients receive. Healthy Smiles second
greatest strength is its reach into 37 local schools through its prevention programs, which Storey hopes
to expand. Its leadership and vision are also strong due to the excellent board and community behind
the organization.
The primary challenge for Healthy Smiles PR program is to create a stronger message and
market it in a way thats both innovative and cost-effective. Although Healthy Smiles logo is strong and
its brand is well known, the organization needs to focus on enhancing brand awareness. This would aid
in reaching more donors and families. The objective of a more powerful message is to boost awareness
that Healthy Smiles is the leader in pediatric oral health care and has worked to decrease overall oral
decay rates in all of Orange County, not just in special needs patients.
An additional key opportunity for establishing Healthy Smiles mission includes promoting the
severe overall health risks linked with dental decay, including cancer and heart disease. Most people are
unaware of the powerful affect oral health has on overall health. As a result, a key audience to target
with its new message is the medical communityHealthy Smiles biggest competitor for donations
which will join forces to spread awareness about the signifcant role oral health plays in every
individuals overall health.
Another great area of improvement to focus on is repairing an erroneous message Healthy
Smiles sends out that works to trash the organizations friendly and approachable image. The
SMILELINEOC, a free telephone referral service, is promoted on all of Healthy Smiles brochures,
websites, social media, and fyers, yet no one answers the line because the staff is either overstretched
or not trained. Other issues involve ensuring the message is clear regarding how people can receive
oral health through Healthy Smiles and where its locations are, in addition to boosting awareness of its
web and social media sites, which Storey also hopes to enhance.
Finally, the organization could beneft from a cause-related marketing event, such as a
sporting event, which would involve both the community and current and potential donors. Advocating
to parents on soccer felds is an excellent way to promote the organization in a laid back environment
to parents from a range of demographics about the seriousness of oral health for their children and
children in need across Orange County.

In recognition of the previous years individual and organizational philanthropic measures to improve
the oral health for underserved children, Healthy Smiles for Kids of Orange County hosted its 5th
annual Leaders in Oral Health Awards Ceremony at the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana. The Leaders
in Oral Health Awards is Healthy Smiles only event each year. The event itself did not have a
fundraising goal as it was honoring those who gave back to the community. More specifcally, it
recognizes leaders, dentists, and businesses in the Orange County community that donate their time,
money, professional skills, and equipment to contribute to the success of Healthy Smiles.
When frst walking into the event, attendees frst see the Smile Mobile, a two-chair dental
facility on wheels, that travels to impoverished neighborhoods throughout Orange County. The
Smile Mobile is one of the greatest parts of Healthy Smiles community focus to assist migrant
education, homeless, and school-based services. It is often the very frst experience in a dental clinic
setting for many of these children. The event itself had about 80 attendees and award recipients of
the evening included Dr. John Aschieris, D.D.S., Deloitte Consulting, and Baxter International.
Intertwined with each individual award presentation, guests were treated to emotional video
excerpts highlighting accomplishments in children's oral health within the past year in Orange
County, made possible through the endeavors of the 2011 Leaders in Oral Health. This was the
frst year that the awards ceremony compiled a video on the organization including interviews with
important leaders in the Healthy Smiles community.
The awards ceremony was successful, but in order for attendees to become more
passionate and infuenced to give back to Healthy Smiles, the event needed to have more
information on where their money is exactly going. Although the event had the Smile Mobile outside
in the parking lot, it would have been more effective if there were tours given around the mobile
instead of having it just sit outside. Most of the organizations fundraising goes back to the Smile
Mobile, so it is important for donors to understand the value of the Smile Mobile and what it does
for the community. In general, videos and photographs can say far more than testimonies; therefore,
Field Trip: Leaders in Oral Health Awards
76
Save a Smile,
the video shown was extremely effective. However, the overall message it was trying to convey was
diffcult to follow. The event also had brochures, recipe books (English and Spanish), and facts about
the importance of oral health, but it did not ft with the demographics that were in attendance.
Literature, such as, Support a Child for Only $25 a Month, or the annual report, would have been
more powerful and appropriate. Lastly, if the event had an actual fundraising goal for the evening and
revolved the evening around this, along with possibly an auction, it would have been more compelling
for attendees to give donations.
The Leaders in Oral Health Awards were publicized through Healthy Smiles homepage,
Twitter and Facebook. Healthy Smiles mailed out save the date invitations to the donors, award
recipients, volunteers, community leaders, government offcials and dentists, but never followed up
with formal invitations. Although Healthy Smiles did use its efforts through social media and the
website, it could have actually become a Facebook event instead of expressing the excitement of the
event through the Healthy Smiles page. The public relations efforts for the media were non-existent.
Press releases were never sent out to the media, which could have changed the results on the whole
event and the fundraising impacts for Healthy Smiles. Overall, if Healthy Smiles is looking for an event
to raise awareness of the organization and funds, it is vital to send out media alerts, press releases,
and call journalists to attend and cover the event.

Surveys
a. Healthy Smiles Parent Survey
In order to receive informative feedback from the parents of the Healthy Smiles community, we
decided to make two surveys, one in English and the other in Spanish since Orange County is made
up of primarily Hispanic and Vietnamese families. This survey includes open-ended questions to allow
parents to state their concerns and opinions, and close-ended questions in order to receive specifc
answers. Some questions focus on the demographic of the families that use Healthy Smiles services,
the frequency of their use of these services, and their overall satisfaction with the organization. We
made sure to include a variety of questions in order to collect useful feedback. This survey will allow
Healthy Smiles to narrow down their focus to specifcally target families needs and wants, improving
the overall public relations plan.

b. Healthy Smiles Donor Survey
Because Healthy Smiles has so few donors, especially individual donors, we decided to make a
survey for this key public in order to gain insight into how the non-proft operates this part of
their business. Our goal was to fgure out how long, on average, people and corporations have
been donating to Healthy Smiles and if they have donated on more than one occasion. More
specifcally, we wanted to know the drivers behind these donations and what exactly they
entailed, whether they were monetary or in-kind donations. Another intent of ours was to fnd
out how the donors initially heard about Healthy Smiles and how the non-proft could possibly
improve its donor relations so that more people would be willing to contribute to the cause.
By using this survey, the non-proft will be able to receive benefcial information that will help
Healthy Smiles build its number of donors.

Team Message
Its been an absolute honor working with Healthy Smiles for Kids of Orange County over the
course of the semester. After realizing that many families in our own neighborhoods and
community dont have the privilege like we do to be treated by a dentist, we felt compelled to
come up with a campaign that could dramatically enhance Healthy Smiles mission.
We trust that our passion and commitment to this cause is refected in our public relations plan.
Each and every one of us has been humbled by the experience of working with a non-proft like
Healthy Smiles, and we hope you fnd this campaign useful for Healthy Smiles to further succeed
in the future.

Thank you again for this opportunity!
