Give a Grin Annual Fundraiser!
Patients and friends,
July 3rd holds a special place in my heart–the birthday of a beautiiful soul and one of my closest friends, Betsy Burton. She passed away 13 years ago, but during her too short life as a teacher, she touched the lives of countless children, showed them hope, joy and success and made their lives better in countless ways. As we have done for the past five years, we are holding a special event in her honor. Friday, June 25th, Complete Health Dentistry of Portland will donate all dental fees on that day in her memory. The proceeds will go to two foundations: The Dental Foundation of Oregon (https://www.smileonoregon.org) and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (https://afsp.org). The DFO runs the Tooth Taxi, a mobile dental van which spends the school year caring for children in need throughout the state of Oregon. The AFSP is the nation’s leading or organization providing awareness, support and help for those struggling with mental health, survivors and those who have lost loved ones to suicide.
What could be better than giving a smile to a child or saving a life? Thanks and be well‚
Dr. David J. Dowsett
