Great Halloween Candy Buy Back

Great Halloween Candy Buy Back

Curtis Chan, DDS is smiling with great expectations for his 7th annual Great Halloween Candy Buy Back, which encourages children to unload the Halloween candy they don’t need for a good cause. The candy is donated to troops overseas and children are given $1 per pound (up to 5 pounds). Last year the drive was a big success, collecting over 5,344 pounds of candy, 285 Beanie Babies, and 1,358 cards and letters for the troops. This year, Chan and team hope to reach over 6,000 pounds. The Buy Back will be held on Thursday, November 5, between 3-7pm, at Chan’s dental office, located at 12835 Pointe Del Mar Way, Suite #3, in Del Mar. Children must be present and must have or make a card for the troops in order to receive their cash. Each child will leave with a free toothbrush kit to brush away any damage from the Halloween candy they kept. Candy donations will also be accepted all week following Halloween.
