Laugh for a Smile Raises Over $225,000

Laugh for a Smile 2026 was one for the books! More than 400 friends of Community Smiles Dental came together for a night filled with laughter, connection, and just a little bit of magic, and together, you helped raise over $225,000 in support of our patients.

That impact doesn’t end when the night is over. Those dollars are already at work, helping children get out of pain, giving families access to a dental home, and ensuring patients receive the care they need to live healthier, more confident lives.

The evening itself was packed with memorable moments, from reconnecting with longtime supporters to welcoming new faces into our community. And of course, Derek Hughes stole the show, bringing a perfect mix of comedy and magic that kept the room laughing all night long.

We’re so grateful to everyone who attended, volunteered, donated, and helped bring this event to life. Your support is what makes this work possible, far beyond a single evening.
