Check out the events and fundraisers that our team at LEPD believes in to learn how YOU CAN HELP!
Free Dental Day!
One of our most significant initiatives is the annual Free Dental Day. On this day, We provide over $10,000 worth of dental care to children who may not otherwise have access to these essential services. This event, held on our practice's anniversary, serves more than 40 children in a single day. With free examinations, X-rays, and urgent dental treatments, we ensure that every child leaves with a healthy smile. A celebration of health and community spirit.
During the holiday season, we partner with the Salvation Army to bring smiles to the faces of children in need through the Angel Tree Program. We pledged $5,000 to purchase gifts for the program, and with the help of our patients, we organize a special shopping event. Children get to pick out toys, games, and other presents, ensuring that every child has a joyful Christmas. Spreading holiday cheer .
Our Mystery Box Program is a unique and exciting way to reward our young patients for their good dental habits. Each month, children who receive an A+ on their dental report card are eligible to win a $100 mystery box filled with fun surprises. Every quarter one winner receives a $250 mystery box, and at the end of the year, one lucky patient wins the grand prize: a $5,000 mystery box. This year's grand prize included a limo ride, spa treatment, and personalized gifts, making it an unforgettable experience.
We believe in being active participants in our community. We sponsor and participate in various local events, such as the Carbondale “Dive-In Movie Night” and the Seussical musical. These events provide opportunities for families to come together, have fun, and build lasting memories. We also support local sports teams and other community activities, reinforcing our commitment to community.
Whether participating in our events, supporting our initiatives, or spreading the word, your involvement makes a difference. Together, we can create a healthier, happier Southern Illinois.
