Missy Acosta and Adam English highlight the 2025 Kids Dental Day and Shoe Distribution in Nashville
Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Missy Acosta, Senior Vice President of Brand Experience for Delta Dental of Tennessee, and Adam English, General Manager and Chief Operating Officer with the Nashville Sounds, who highlight the origins and evolution of the annual Kids Dental Day, which has grown over the last four years to include a number of partnerships providing shoe and book distributions and a variety of educational activities that serve hundreds of kids across Middle Tennessee at First Horizon Park baseball stadium.
In 2022, the Nashville Sounds partnered with Delta Dental of Tennessee to create Kids Dental Day as a way to foster a day of fun and provide dental care and other related services to kids in need. Over the years, the event has expanded greatly thanks to a number of partnerships with organizations like cityCURRENT, Samaritan's Feet, Kroger, Higginbotham Insurance, Meharry Medical College, Neighborhood Health, Hope Smiles, Book'em, Nashville PBS, American Heart Association, the Adventure Science Center, Henry Schein, Dunkin' Donuts, and more. As a result, the event has evolved from providing simple dental screenings to a comprehensive day of care including dental check-ups and cleanings, a shoe distribution, new books, and tons of fun educational activities designed to help prepare the kids for the new school year ahead.
During the interview, Missy and Adam talk about how the event has grown significantly over four years, the power of collaborating with multiple partners and services, including participation from dental students, local businesses, and community organizations, and what the event means to the kids served. They discuss plans to further expand the event's reach and impact by adding more partners and services, while emphasizing the importance of long-term commitment and advance planning for logistics and participation.
