Complete Wellness Helps out Gold Hill Elementary 5th graders!

Books!  Do you remember those?  The hard bound covers filled with pages with words that opened up worlds to millions of people?  Before Kindles and Nooks and TV and social media we found out about our world and expanded our imaginations through books.  Mr. Smith at Gold Hill Elementary, even with all the tech-savvy gadgets he uses for his classroom, knows the importance of them and wants to expand his homeroom library.  Complete Wellness Chiropractic wants to help him in this mission.

For every new patient appointment made between September 10-21^st 100% of the proceeds from that appointment will go back to his classroom.  Who do you know that could benefit from chiropractic care?  A co-worker?  Your spouse?  Your children?  It’s always a good time to refer to our office, but now is an even better time!   

Children's Attention Home Check Presentation!

With the help of our amazing Fam Jam Committee and all of the wonderful volunteers, we were able to present the Children's Attention Home with a check for $11,000!

Fam Jam continues to grow and we look forward to raising even more next April!

Fam Jam is THIS Saturday!

Fam Jam is this Saturday and we are so excited for all the wonderful events, bands, activities, and all of the amazing prizes!  The Children's Attention Home is a great cause to raise money for, and our goal this year is $10,000. We are expecting a great turnout this Saturday, and rain or shine, we will see you there!

Our way of helping others and giving back.

Imagine the following...You hear a dispute going on late at night at a neighbors house followed by police sirens and flashing lights.  You continue to see the lights outside for the next 30 minutes and then silence.  You later come to find out that there was a domestic dispute and potential abuse to a young child.  Where did that child go?  Well, typically they are taken by police to the department of social services sometimes in the middle of the night wearing only their pajamas .  If the department of social services cannot find a foster family that night, the Children's Attention Home is contacted to see if they have 1 of their 42 beds open to take another child on. 

Recently my staff and I were very fortunate to have come across this organization that we now feel very passionate about.  The Children's Attention Home in Rock Hill, SC.  After going and visiting the Attention Home, it would be hard to fully explain the love and dedication all the staff and volunteers had towards these kids and my feelings as well.  The Children's Attention Home is a place for neglected, abused or abandoned children who have been removed from their homes.  These children from infants to teenagers typically stay at the home on average for 90 days.  The Home has its own school for those up to 8th grade including kindergarten.  Those in high school are transferred to the local high school until court decisions can be made for where they will go.  I will not give you the statistics on child abuse and neglect, but after reading them I was appalled and realized the need for such a place.

This December we have taken on the Children's Attention Home as our own and are donating, with the help of our patients, as many gift cards for the kids as we can.  Angel Tree is taking care of all the Christmas presents for the kids so the director at the Home stated that the best thing they need are things to take their children's minds off current situations.  She stated that gift cards to pizza places, bowling alleys, movie theaters, or clothing stores are very useful. 

For the entire month of December we decided that in exchange for a $20 gift card to any of the above places, we will give anyone new to our office their first day exam and visit for no charge.  At the end of the month we will be taking all our gift cards down to donate to the children. 

We didn't want to leave our current patients out either, so this week all day on Thursday, December 17th, all current patient will get their adjustment for the same exchange of a $20 gift card to be donated the Attention Home.

Of course anyone who wants to give a donation is more than welcome to at anytime.  I included their website as well for those of you looking for more info or other ways to donate to such a great place.  http://www.attentionhome.org/

We really appreciate all your help.  We feel that just like us 1 month ago, if we are not telling others about great places like this, many will not know and many kids will not get the help the need and deserve.  Thanks again.
