The Founder

As a junior in high school, Gianna Demino noticed a growing need in her community—families struggling to access basic dental care. Determined to make a difference, she decided to take action rather than wait for someone else to step in. Inspired by the belief that every smile matters, Gianna founded Brush Buddies to create real, lasting change in Sarasota and Manatee County. Her passion, drive, and commitment continue to guide the organization as it works to bring healthier, brighter smiles to thousands of families.
