J29 Sponsors Kids Smiles’ “Smiles & Swings” Golf Outing to Support Dental Care for Underserved Children

J29 was honored to once again sponsor Kids Smiles’ “Smiles & Swings” Golf Outing at Top Golf in King of Prussia, PA—a fun and impactful evening dedicated to supporting dental care for underserved children in the Philadelphia area.

Kids Smiles has been a beacon of hope for families across the region, providing essential oral health services and education to children who need it most. J29 is proud to stand behind their mission, and this marks our second consecutive year sponsoring the event.

Among the attendees were J29 team members Amber Dietrich, Sarah Tonelli, and Julia Ray, who joined a vibrant community of dental professionals and supporters for a night filled with food, drinks, golf lessons from a pro, and most importantly—purpose.

For Sarah Tonelli, J29’s Director of People Operations, the connection to Kids Smiles runs deep. She has been involved with the organization for over a decade, first as an employee and now as a dedicated supporter and member of the fundraising committee.

“Kids Smiles has always held a special place in my heart,” said Tonelli. “Their commitment to ensuring every child has access to quality dental care is not only inspiring—it’s essential. I’m proud to be part of an organization like J29 that shares those values and continues to support this mission year after year.”
