All-star slugger Albert Pujols is going to bat for Give Kids A Smile, headlining a public service announcement that hit the airwaves nationwide last month.
 Mr. Pujols, the 2008 National League Most Valuable Player and recipient of the 2008 Roberto Clemente Award, an honor that recognizes a major league baseball player for outstanding play on the baseball diamond as well as humanitarian work off the field, donated his time to record the spots for the ADA.
The 15-, 30- and 60-second PSAs were distributed to some 1,300 broadcast stations and cable outlets nationwide. Stations began airing the spots in late January and will run them through February.
The PSA, which briefly explains what Give Kids A Smile is all about, is available for viewing on a new Web site developed to highlight the ongoing challenges low-income families face in finding dental care. Visit the new GKAS Web site at http://givekidsasmile.ADA.org  .
Members who receive inquiries from patients and the public can find detailed information about GKAS programs in their state by logging on to the Dental Society Resources Web site: www.adadentalsociety.org  .
