Raising Money for Aldersgate through the Jeans and Jewels Benefit

September 30, 2011

For close to 30 years, Dr. Michel and Michel Dental have been associated with Aldersgate Village.

Aldersgate Village is one of the largest retirement communities in Kansas and a member of the United Methodist Homes network. We have had the honor of serving the community together through a dental clinic we started with them. Run by Beth, one of our RDH’s, the clinic provides weekly dental care to residents of Aldersgate using donated equipment.

Recently, we had the opportunity to show our support for Aldersgate in another way. A special benefit called Jeans and Jewels was held at the downtown Ramada Inn. The purpose was to raise money for Aldergate’s new Recovery Center, which will be used to give residents of the retirement village and others within the community a place to recover after a long hospital stay. Money was raised through an auction and a silent auction.

It was a great event, and we’re happy to still be involved with such a great organization.

Call our Topeka office to find out more about our work with Aldersgate or to schedule your next appointment with us.

If it’s not treated soon, even more serious problems like tooth loss or gum deterioration can occur. What’s more, other health problems, like heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, pre-term birth, and gastric ulcer re-infection have been found to share a connection with gum disease.
