Thanks to a key partnership from Dr. Hester and Dr. Arrendondo, Bend Family Dentistry, the 2009 Saving Grace Children’s Festival in Drake Park is shaping up to be the most successful yet. The 2009 Saving Grace Children’s Festival will take place Saturday, July 18th in Drake Park from 10am-4pm. This celebration of healthy families has been a local favorite for 21 years. Bend Family Dentistry has committed to be the event’s title sponsor for the second year in a row. Joining Bend Family Dentistry are media sponsors True North Parenting and Horizon Broadcasting as well as other local businesses who share the Saving Grace vision of life without violence.
“We have such a caring team at Bend Family Dentistry and this gave us an opportunity to give back to the community,” said Dr. Brad Hester about the title sponsorship. “We had a great time seeing kids having so much fun at the festival last year and we are very fortunate to have a program like Saving Grace in our community to protect families against violence. We are proud to help with a sponsorship.”
Saving Grace is thrilled to partner with Bend Family Dentistry. “It takes the whole community to raise healthy families and Bend Family Dentistry is committed to helping us with just that,” said Janet Huerta, Saving Grace Executive Director. Additional sponsorship opportunities are still available.
