Rob Lowe For Crest

Actor Rob Lowe joined Crest to launch the Crest Healthier Smiles Project. Kids with poor oral health are 3 times more likely to miss school and that’s not OK. The Crest Healthier Smiles Project launched a nationwide education program with the PTA and teamed up with Feeding America to donate toothpaste to those who need it most.

The event was held at Innovation Loft, 151 W. 30th Street, New York.

DETAILS:

Rob Lowe talked about the Crest Healthier Smiles Project, his experience as a dad of two teenage boys, his mom’s experience as a high-school teacher and his upcoming projects.

Representatives from National PTA and Feeding America were also in attendance to provide information about their partnerships with Crest.
