Assisting Children to Smile (A.C.T.S.), was founded in 2005 as a joint project of the WGM Jan Hadrick and WGP Deach Koch as part of their Grand Session with the goal of making sure every child has the confidence and pride that comes along with a perfect smile. A.C.T.S. achieved 501(c)(3) status in September of 2013. That following October, the A.C.T.S. committee that was administering the program was dissolved and a board of directors was created.
Through relationship with local businesses and leaders in the community and the Grand Chapter of South Dakota we strive to make an impact in the community.
By assisting families who cannot afford the financial burden of braces, filings and life-altering surgeries A.C.T.S. is able to change the lives of children one smile at a time.
