BOZEMAN, Mt. — Leftover Halloween candy can put a little money in children's pockets while also giving back to local schools and nonprofit organizations.
WATCH STORY HERE:
For 15 years, Sayre Orthodontics has held its "Cash 4 Candy" event, paying children $1 for every pound of candy they turn in.
But the giving doesn't stop there. The orthodontics office matches that amount with a donation to the child's school.
"With that amount of money that they receive, maybe they'll do a class party, school supplies, other needs the teachers have," orthodontist Jeremy Sayre said. "It can be used in a multitude of ways."
The collected candy is then donated to local nonprofits. In past years, recipients have included the Gallatin Valley Food Bank, HRDC, Family Promise and Adopt a Sox.
Cash 4 Candy runs from Nov. 2 through Nov. 5, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
