In 2011, “Nevi,” a mascot resembling Hu-Friedy’s Nevi 4 posteriorsickle scaler, raised $1,000 for each state he visited in the UnitedStates during the “Host Nevi Tour 2011.” In 2012, he will travel aroundCanada from April to October, visiting dental practices, schools, andspecial events. The “Nevi Canadian Tour 2012” can raise up to $10,000.
In addition to attending CDHA events, there will be opportunities forNevi to stay with “hosts” in different cities. Nevi’s hosts will bechosen from requests sent in by members of Friends of Hu-Friedy,Hu-Friedy’s online community for dental hygienists. Chosen hosts areasked to take Nevi around their hometown—from local monuments to theirdental practice or school—and photograph him throughout his stay. Aftereach visit, Nevi’s hosts can share their photos and experiences on Nevi’s Facebook page.
