Teal Pumpkin Project

Why am I seeing Teal Pumpkins everywhere?

Halloween, what is a favorite holiday for some, is a dreaded one for others. 1 in 13 children in the US live with food allergies. As we all know, many hidden allergens are in candy- and Halloween is a day that has us food allergy parents on edge. The Teal Pumpkin Project initiative began by Becky Basalone and the Food Allergy Community of East Tennessee (FACET) and launched as a national campaign by FARE in 2014 to help make Halloween safer and happier for all.

To take part in the 2016 Teal Pumpkin Project, people in the community can try one or all of the following:

– Provide non-food treats for trick-or treaters

– Paint or decorate a Teal Pumpkin and put it outside your home to show that you have food-free treats

> (Michaels Craft Store, Target and Oriental Trading Company offer Teal Pumpkin Decorating Kits!)

– Display a sign or poster on your door (FREE download HERE)

– Take a photo of your Teal displays and hashtag #tealpumpkinproject to help spread the word!

– Host a fundraiser with the proceeds going towards Teal Pumpkin Project

Downloadable free materials located HERE – Help spread the word and help Halloween be a safe, fun, holiday for ALL children!

Bronsky Orthodontics 2nd Annual Candy Buy Back!

Bronsky Orthodontics 2nd Annual Candy Buy Back!

Bronsky Orthodontics 2nd Annual Candy Buy Back! The weekend before Halloween tends to be a trick-or-treat weekend for kids all over Lower Manhattan. The result is candy galore and more to come as October 31st is the ultimate in candy collecting for kids of all ages. This also results in parents like myself eating too much candy and trying to hide it from the kids, with no success. But, no one wants to throw out perfectly good (and yummy) candy. Well, we have discovered the perfect solution for kids and parents and wanted to share the good news.

Operation Gratitude is an amazing organization that supports the soldiers by sending care packages to the troops. They have a Halloween effort that encourages children to donate their Halloween candy, which will in turn be sent to the troops. Children are also encouraged to write letters, donate toothpaste, toothbrushes or even dental floss to help keep soldiers teeth healthy. So, encourage your children to write a quick note to a well-deserving soldier overseas!

In Lower Manhattan, the team at Bronsky Orthodontics in Tribeca hopes to collect 100 pounds of candy to donate to Operation Gratitude. Bring up to 5 pounds of your unopened candy and earn $1 a pound for donated candy. Children can also choose to donate the money they earn to Operation Gratitude. Join FiDi Families as we support this great dental practice and wonderful organization.
