Callander Bay Dental Clinic 2013 Smiles for Life Cheque Presentation!
Suzanne Harmony and Dr. Mario Lemay from the Callander Bay Dental Clinic presented a cheque for $22,748.00 to the Rotary Club of North Bay at their noon meeting on Monday, in support of the Rotary4Kids fundraising campaign. These funds were generated through the clinic’s participation in Smiles for Life campaign over the course of the last year.
Effective this year, the Smiles for Life Foundation has decided to increase their contribution from 50% to 100% of the funds raised by the dental clinic. Previously, the other 50% of the funds went to other charitable organizations outside of the local area.
Each year the Rotary4Kids campaign generates up to $100,000.00, largely through the radio-a-thon, which in turn provides much needed funds for projects and initiatives involving local children and youth with special needs, largely through partnerships with One Kids Place and Nipissing Association for Disabled Youth (NADY).
Next year’s radio-a-thon, with KissFM morning hosts Kevin and Big Mike, will once again be broadcast live from the Sears Court at Northgate Shopping Centre, April 3rd to 5th.
