A Sweet Show of Support: Campi Dental’s 21st Annual Candy Buy Back

Nearly Doubles Last Year’s Total

More Than 1,200 Pounds of Candy Collected for U.S. Troops Overseas

Wall Township, N.J. (November 9, 2026) Following Halloween, Campi Dental hosted its 21st Annual Candy Buy Back and collected more than 1,200 pounds of candy for U.S. troops serving overseas. That is nearly double last year’s total of 675 pounds. The event brought together families, patients, volunteers, and community members for a day of fun, giving, and real impact.

A cornerstone of the Wall Township business community since 1933, Campi Dental is known for excellence in dental care and for giving back through Campi Cares, its philanthropic initiative. At the Candy Buy Back, families trade their Halloween candy for $1 per pound (up to five pounds) or donate that cash to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation (t2t.org). The foundation honors military members and first responders by providing mortgage-free homes, adapting homes for injured veterans, and offering educational support for children of the fallen.

“Twenty-one years in, the Candy Buy Back still fills our office with so much generosity and community spirit,” said Cheryl Campi, VP of Operations at Campi Dental. “Seeing this year’s total nearly double tells us how much our neighbors, patients, and team care about the men and women serving overseas.”

“Campi Dental has been a true partner to Tunnel to Towers, and the Candy Buy Back is one of the most heartwarming ways our community shows up for those who serve,” said Kathy Cunningham, Tunnel to Towers board member and leader of Team Shamrock. “Every pound of candy and every dollar donated tells our troops and first responders that their hometown is thinking of them.”

The event also encourages healthy habits. By trading in candy, kids cut back on sugar after the holiday, and families get an easy, positive way to talk about smart choices.

Each year, tables piled high with candy become a symbol of the community’s generosity, and every pound is shipped overseas to give U.S. troops a sweet taste of home. What began as a small, family-friendly idea has grown into a beloved Wall Township tradition that touches lives near and far while promoting healthier choices for local families.
