A Fresno, CA, youth has received orthodontic and college scholarships from the Smile for a Lifetime Foundation (S4L).
In 2011, Fresno orthodontist Pat DiCiccio, DDS, provided braces for Ryan Lopez via a S4L scholarship, according to the organization.
In addition to the orthodontic scholarship, Lopez was recently awarded a $3,000 S4L college scholarship to help him pursue his dream of becoming a firefighter and will attend Fresno City College.
S4L is an international nonprofit organization that provides orthodontic care and free braces to underserved children with financial challenges and special orthodontic needs.
