Valeri Orthodontics Community Program
Adopt a Yeti.
Change a life.
Every Yeti adopted supports Children's Wisconsin and brings us one step closer to giving a child cancer survivor the gift of a confident, beautiful smile — completely free.
Our mission
A smile for every
brave fighter.
At Valeri Orthodontics, we believe that a confident smile can change a child's life. And we believe that children who have fought cancer with everything they have deserve that smile more than anyone.
The Adopt a Yeti Program was created to do exactly that — provide completely free orthodontic care to child cancer survivors in our communities of Kenosha, Pleasant Prairie, and Oak Creek, while raising vital funds for Children's Wisconsin.
It's not just a program. It's our promise to the kids in our community who have shown more courage than most of us will ever know.
How it works
Two ways to make a
difference.
When you adopt a cute and cuddly Yeti plush from Valeri Orthodontics, 100% of proceeds go directly to Children's Wisconsin — a leading pediatric health system committed to the well-being of children across our region. It's a small act with a big impact.
For every 100 Yeti plushies adopted, Valeri Orthodontics donates a complete course of free orthodontic care to a child cancer survivor from our community. Braces, aligners, everything — at zero cost to the family.

Why it matters
The power of a
confident smile.
Children who survive cancer face a lifetime of rebuilding — their health, their confidence, their identity. A smile is a small thing that means everything.
"A healthy, confident smile can have a powerful impact on a person's confidence, personality, and overall quality of life. Children who have fought cancer deserve that more than anyone."
— Dr. Nick ValeriOur partner: Children's Wisconsin
Children's Wisconsin is one of the nation's top pediatric health systems, dedicated to the health and well-being of children throughout Wisconsin. All proceeds from Yeti plush adoptions go directly to supporting their mission — from cancer research to patient care and family support programs.
