Community Health Center of Fort Dodge will hold their annual fundraiser on Saturday, October 26th in the showroom at Shimkat Motor Co. The event is called 'Costumes and Comedy'.

Tickets are $25 each or 5/$100 and get you entered to win one of three prizes to be drawn for live at the event on October 26.

ONLINE AUCTION

The online/silent auction will begin on Friday, October 18th at 4 pm and will end on Saturday, October 26th at 9 pm. Some special larger items will be part of a live auction that you can preview online, but must be present at the event to bid on.

COSTUMES & COMEDY EVENT

Tickets for the October 26th Costumes and Comedy event are $45 in advance or $50 at the door. Your ticket for the evening includes a delicious dinner of roast beef or chicken, cheesy hash browns, green beans, taco salad, pasta salad, broccoli cauliflower salad and a dinner roll. Drinks will be available for purchase at the bar and an amazing assortment of desserts will be auctioned off during dinner.

We are raising funds and awareness for the services we provide to the community. This year on top of our usual services and clinic needs we will be putting the funds raised towards the purchase of an RV that will be capable of providing dental services in our communities. The mobile dental RV would be fitted with two dental operatoratories and would travel to nursing homes, schools, communities without dental services and areas where patients have difficulty with transportation. With this unit we would be able to provide preventative dental care like exams and cleanings as well as restorative services like fillings and dentures.

Any person or business wishing to contribute to the auction or interested in sponsorship of the event can contact Regina Suhrbier at 515-576-6500 or by email at rsuhrbier@chcfortdodge.com.
