NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Danica Patrick has joined with Got Your 6 and Aspen Dental for the third annual Healthy Mouth Movement. Their"Smile 4 Vets" social media campaign kicked off last week in Atlanta at Centennial Olympic Park, where Patrick appeared with the MouthMobile – a 42-ft dental office on wheels that provides free dental care to veterans across the country.

The MouthMobile will visit a total of 30 cities in 2016 (the full calendar is at the end of this post). Last year, the program provided $2.8 million dollars in free dental care to more than 4,000 veterans.
The Smile4Vets initiative works this way: people can share their smiles with hashtags #Smile4Vets and #Sweepstakes on Twitter, Instagram or at Smile4Vets.com as a salute to veterans nationwide. For every smile shared, Aspen Dental will donate $1 to Got Your 6. Aspen Dental will display the photos shared on Smile4Vets.com.
As a thank you for supporting our veterans, everyone who shares their smile will be entered for a chance to win free dental care for a special veteran in their life, plus a trip to the Michigan race in August 2016, including an opportunity to meet Healthy Mouth Movement ambassador and NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Danica Patrick.

Got Your 6 is a collective impact campaign that works to bridge the military-civilian divide. Combining the reach and resources of the entertainment industry with the expertise and commitment from veteran-focused non-profit and government partners, the campaign works to advance the conversation in America so veterans and their families are seen as leaders and civic assets who will invigorate our communities.
Here are the tour stops for the MouthMobile.
