| TOPIC: Benefit Concert Helps Achieve $20,000 Goal for Tooth Fairy Fund |
| The
roots-rock band 3 Twins, a side project of the Subdudes, electrified a
packed Drake Centre Oct. 2 at a concert benefiting the Health District’s
Tooth Fairy Fund for Grown-ups. Dubbed “3 Twins for Grins,” the event raised more than $5,000, bringing our $20,000 fundraising goal easily within reach by the Oct. 31 deadline. Our sincere appreciation goes to major sponsor Henry Schein Dental, cosponsors Lucid Audio and Enhance Printing, as well as Sheafor, a local band that opened the concert. Thanks to a challenge grant from a local anonymous donor, the $20,000 raised has doubled to $40,000. That means we now have $40,000 available in financial support for adults who need critical dental care but who are unable to pay even the low sliding-scale fees at the Health District’s Family Dental Clinic. Fundraising got a big boost earlier this year through a $3,000 donation from the Larimer County Dental Society and a benefit event hosted by St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. The 3 Twins concert and donations from individual community members made up the remaining balance. Although we’ve reached an important fundraising milestone, it’s not too late to donate to the Tooth Fairy Fund for Grown-ups. The more donations we receive, the more people we can help get critically needed care. Learn more about the Tooth Fairy Fund for Grown-ups and donate online at www.toothfairyfund.org. |
