About

Brush to Win promotes good dental health habits among elementary school children (kindergarten to grade 5) by encouraging them to brush twice daily throughout the month of April (Oral Health Month). Open to schools throughout BC, participants/classes are entered in a random draw for one of twelve individual prizes and one of five school prizes.

The 2013 contest has now closed, and draw winners will be announced soon for the following prizes:

• Student prizes: A total of twelve piggy banks containing 30 loonies will be awarded to students (two winners per grade). Classmates of the winning students will receive a toothbrush while the school will be awarded with an oral health video and teaching guide.
• School prizes: A total of five $200 gift certificates will be awarded to participating schools; these can be used to purchase school supplies.
