Establishing Healthy Habits Can Earn a Free Toothbrush

Thursday July 17, 2008
Colgate has teamed up with RIF (Reading is Fundamental) to offer free toothbrushes for children as they learn healthy bedtime habits. The goal is to get your children into a routine of washing their hands, brushing their teeth and reading every night.
