Great Halloween Candy Buy Back and Card Give Back

Del Mar dentist Dr. Curtis Chan is holding his 15th annual Great Halloween Candy Buy Back, helping kids unload excess Halloween candy for a great cause.

The candy is donated to troops overseas and in exchange for their donations, children are given $1 per pound (up to five pounds). The outdoor event will take place from 3-6pm in the plaza at Dr. Chan’s office. 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 and, as an exciting bonus, they will also receive a Dr. Chan Chocolate Bar with a chance to be one of five kids to win a “Golden Ticket” worth $100. Members of the community are encouraged to donate extra candy as well, which will be accepted November 1-10 during normal business hours.
