2024 Special Smiles Summer Games (Stillwater)

Special Olympics Minnesota's Summer Gamest is being held June 21-23 and we are looking for volunteers to help run Special Smiles screenings at the event! Volunteers are welcome to sign up for AM and PM shifts if they would like to stay the whole day. 

 

Through Special Smiles, athletes receive free screenings in a fun, welcoming environment.  Special Smiles screenings provide comprehensive oral health care information, including offering free dental screenings and instructions on brushing and flossing.
