Dental Associates will hold a car wash fundraiser at its locations in Newtown, Danbury, and New Milford on Sunday, August 17, from noon to 4 pm, to help sponsor the wish of Gina, a 13-year old girl with a life-threatening illness, through the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Connecticut.

Dental Associates dentists, technicians, and young helpers will wash cars. Donations start at $5 per car but any amount will be accepted. Dental Associates will match all funds contributed dollar for dollar.

All proceeds will help to make Gina’s wish come true –– to vacation with her family in the warm, sunny weather of Hawaii in the fall. The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Connecticut, a statewide nonprofit organization, grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.

To make a donation on behalf of Gina, send a check made payable to Make-A-Wish Foundation of Connecticut to Pat Neal, Dental Associates, 36 Padanaram Road, Danbury, CT 06811 or contact Pat Neal directly at 512-6078.
