Tate Family Dentistry launches “Socks n’ Skivvies” campaign
We can’t stop smiling at the impressive donation collected by the staff and patients of Tate Family Dentistry.
The local business encouraged support through their active social media channel and reminded patients to bring donations before their appointment.
To those who participated in collection drives, assembled bags and volunteered hours at the Back to School Fair, your investment is appreciated. You have alleviated the burden for so many families and given a fresh start to hundreds of children.
Did you know
Studies reveal that the cost for school supplies and activities for students has risen up to 85% over the past ten years. A modest estimate for each elementary age child is $100 in supply expenses and up to $1,000 for a high school student when you weigh in supplies, gym clothes, field trip fees, musical instruments and other costs throughout the year.
