Summit Dental Presents Proceeds From Annual Fundraiser to Open Door Mission

Summit Dental presented the proceeds of its annual Community Lemonade Stand Day to Open Door Mission (opendoormission.org) President/CEO Candace Gregory on Friday afternoon, September 8. The money was raised through an effort promoted by Summit through social media. Twenty-seven neighborhood lemonade stands were engaged in providing refreshing lemonade to customers in and around Omaha during the hottest part of the summer for donations to Open Door Mission. Supplies and decorations were supplied by local Summit Dentist offices, ten of which also hosted lemonade stands during the drive which took place the week of July 30.

“We are thrilled to be the beneficiary of the 2017 Summit Dental Community Lemonade Stand Day,” says Gregory. “So many families took advantage of the opportunity to encourage their children to do something special to help people in need. The whole effort is just a reflection of the generosity and community spirit of our friends at Summit Dental. We are so thankful!”
