The Tooth Fairies
The main objective of the Fraternity of Tooth Fairies is to increase the public's awareness of the Blue Ridge Free Dental Clinic in Jackson, Macon and Transylvania Counties, and to do it in a fun-loving manner. Upon joining the Fraternity, each fairy receives his own wings, tutu and larger-than-life toothbrush in a coordinating pastel color. Shameless enthusiasm, a great sense of humor and an unwavering dedication to the cause are definitely required!
The Tooth Fairies can be spotted at holiday parades and other local events throughout the year. They also participate in fundraising activities and dental hygiene education.
