Since 2010, Real Leaders has been the premier source for recognizing leaders and organizations that are making a positive social or environmental impact around the globe.

Despite the global pandemic, in 2021, the Smiles for Everyone Foundation continued to provide free dental care across the globe, treating over ten thousand individuals both domestically and through its partnerships with NGOs in Thailand, Laos, Paraguay, Ghana, Nicaragua, and Mexico.
“We are thrilled to have again been recognized for our positive social impact by Real Leaders,” said Smile Brands CEO, Steven C. Bilt. “The true test of a company’s culture is how it holds up during hard times. I’m incredibly proud of the way our team has pulled together to deliver smiles – supporting our patients, our communities, and each other since the start of the pandemic.”
A virtual ceremony will be held on February 24, 2022, to honor the winners and will feature a keynote from Peter Diamandis, founder and executive chairman of the XPRIZE Foundation, and executive founder of Singularity University.
