In memory of a smile that was always present, Smile for Rhonda looks to start sharing smiles with those who need them most.

Rhonda Haroldson has been a staple of the Swift Current dental profession since 1975. Her work spanned 46 years, in which she helped people as a therapist and hygienist to make their smiles the best they could be.

It's in her memory that her daughter, Jenna Notenbomer, has partnered with First Avenue Dental to help repair people's teeth through the Smile for Rhonda Foundation.

"It's just something where if somebody needs some dental care work, we're going to work with the dentist and see who we can give a Smile for Rhonda," said Notenbomer.

Smile for Rhonda has been accepting donations, of which First Avenue Dental has agreed to match the first $2,500. They will be putting this money towards fixing someone who normally may not be able to afford the extent of dental care they need, to ensure that they can smile again without worry.

Notenbomer feels this work is an honest testament to her mother's legacy, as she worked at First Avenue Dental for 22 years.

"Dental was everything to mom," said Notenbomer. "Growing up I remember brushing and being told to brush and floss more times than not. Teeth and dental hygiene were really important to her. Many people are not lucky enough to be able to get the dental hygiene care that they need."

Donations are held in a trust account at Innovation Federal Credit Union. People looking to donate can do so by emailing smileforrhonda@gmail.com.

As for how people will be chosen for dental work, it's a matter still being discussed and developed.

"I do hope to carry this on for years and years to come," said Notenbomer. "This year we are working hand in hand with First Avenue Dental and Doctor Thiessen and see if they can help the process of finding the right candidate or candidates to select."
