10 Ways We're Spreading Smile Power
Arizona has grown from 2 million residents to nearly 7 million over the past 50 years. And we’ve grown right along with it. To celebrate 50 years of serving our beloved Grand Canyon state, we’ve been busy giving back to communities across Arizona by spreading Smile Power. But what is Smile Power? Below is a collection of our favorite stories, photos and videos of Arizonans experiencing the ‘Power’ first-hand. Don’t forget to keep coming back. There’s always more Smile Power to come.
