A couple of weeks ago we participated in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk. As a team we raised $1,115 for the American Cancer Society! We all had a great time walking, even though it was pretty chilly. Here are a few pictures from the walk.

On October 17th, we will be participating in the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk as an office. Breast cancer has affected everyone in our office in some way. This is a cause we all feel strongly about, and want to help make a difference.

Please consider showing your support for us and for the American Cancer Society. Click here to go to our team’s web page to make a donation.

Here’s a short video about the walk: Making Strides Video

Thank you!

We’ve had many requests for a virtual tour. You can watch it below, or we will have it permanently posted here: Virtual Tour page. Enjoy!

A little over a week ago we attended the Indianapolis Woman Dream Makeover Luncheon. A group of four celebrity judges chose the winner of the Dream Makeover. The finalists were initially narrowed down to 8, but 2 women did not make it through the physical exams to determine if they were good candidates for surgery. During the luncheon the women shared brief stories with us about why they should win the makeover. They all had wonderful stories, and I know it was a hard decision for the judges to make. Below are some pictures from the luncheon.

Here are some of us getting ready to hear the women’s stories about why they should win the makeover.

We’re looking forward to working with Barbara and the Dream Team!

As most of you know, I’m the Cosmetic Dentist for the Indianapolis Woman Dream Makeover 2009. This past Saturday we held the semi-finalist round of the makeover at our office. We had 25 women in the office and narrowed the list down to 8. The winner of the makeover will be chosen by celebrity judges next month.

During our time on Saturday, Dr. Gillum (the plastic surgeon) and I completed short exams on each woman to determine who would be a good candidate for the makeover. We heard some amazing stories from the ladies about why they were hoping to receive a makeover. We had a great time on Saturday and want to share some of the pictures with you.

Here is a picture of the group, and Lindsay, from Indianapolis Woman, welcoming everyone:
