We’re proud to share that Big Brothers Big Sisters of Coastal & Northern New Jersey has been selected as a 2025 SMILE grantee by the Delta Dental of New Jersey Foundation. This year, the Foundation awarded $593,300 to 23 organizations improving oral and overall health for vulnerable communities across 13 New Jersey counties.

As part of this statewide effort, supporting more than 14,500 children, seniors, individuals with disabilities, and veterans, BBBS is honored to be included among an impressive group of grantees.

Delta Dental of New Jersey President & CEO Paul Di Maio, who also serves on the BBBSNNJ Governance Board, shared: “We are proud to stand alongside community organizations that share our commitment to building healthier smiles.”
