Daily oral hygiene is essential to keep a healthy smile. Though this event, we offer a wonderful way for CBN (Carter Burden Network) older adults to learn about oral care and the importance of maintaining a healthy smile. If they are listening carefully, they have a chance to win a game of oral care-themed trivia! Volunteers are welcome to collaborate and share a brief 20-minute presentation on oral care (ideally with some focus on older adult oral care), and then partake in an open Q&A. Additionally, there will be a trivia game of 10 oral care-themed questions that volunteers will prepare in advance to ask during the game.
Every round of trivia will consist of one winner, each of whom will win prizes donated from Colgate. In the spirit of good CBN sportsmanship, all older adult participants will leave as winners, receiving a nominal Colgate product. Products may include, but are not limited to tooth brushes, floss, mouth wash, etc. CBN staff will keep track of the names of the older adults that answer trivia questions correctly in order to properly distribute prizes (TBD at Colgate’s discretion). There will be here will be a moment of socialization with our members before start of event consisting of light breakfast items being served.

The event will take place in-person (up 40 older adults are expected to attend). All volunteers (10 maximum volunteers) MUST attend a brief pre-event meeting (or view recording of it) on Wednesday, September 6th, 2023 at 2pm to go over house rules and any questions or concerns you may have in preparation for the 9/12 volunteer event. Please include your full name and e-mail address regarding your pre-event meeting and ‘Colgate Cares Day’ info. CBN will have a recording available of the pre-event meeting in the event anyone registered are unable to attend the pre-event but still want to participate in the Colgate Cares Day event on 9/12. CBN also has a link to last year's oral care presentation that Colgate volunteers had so that can be used again since this event will be a different CBN location/audience than last year.

*** Mask wearing is optional, but encouraged.
If you have any questions, concerns or comments, please do not hesitate to reach me at Morenoj@carterburdennetwork.org . We look forward to seeing you there!

The Regenboog India Foundation is in need of volunteers to take over the organization's social media accounts and run them independently, with the help of the existing field staff. Because of the importance of Regenboog's work to society, our team is too tiny to dedicate someone to managing our social media accounts.

We need competent people to take charge right away. The Regenboog crew has all you need (pictures, movies, draft contents, etc.).

Would you mind sharing our content on your social media accounts?

Come to our evening program and help us give out coats collected to the inner-city children we serve. Help keep them organized throughout the night. The coats will be sorted by size.
All you need to do is assist the children as they come to pick out their coat and help make sure it fits them properly. Once they find the coat that fits, we ask you to write their name on it and ensure all tags are cut off so no one can return the coat.

Best of all, you get to come and have fun with kids that will brighten your day!
