Since April is Oral Health Month, BCDA's Brush2Win contest runs April 1-30, 2023, and is open to all BC elementary schools with children in Kindergarten through Grade 3. Schools registering during the contest period will be entered into a draw for one of five $1,000 prizes!
Schools registered before March 1, 2023 will also be entered into our $500 Early Bird draw!
Draw winners will be contacted and BCDA will make arrangements to send the winning school a cheque for $500, $1,000, or both!
