Proceeds from the Expo and Tooth Fairy Fun Run will benefit the medical, counseling, legal and dental programs of the Free Clinic, including the pediatric dental program. Through the charitable efforts of over
160 volunteers, the Free Clinic delivered over 17,000 client contacts to 7,600+ people in 2013. The event serves as the Free Clinic’s most important fundraising event of the year and its success is critical to continued services.
The EXPO will promote positive health and fitness practices and activities for youth and adults and will feature dozens of vendors presenting their products and services, including: Nutrition Advice, Oral Cancer Screenings, Flu Shots, Vitamin Info, Bicycle Safety, CPR/First Aid Demonstrations, Tips on Healthy Cooking, Fitness Club Information, Smoking Cessation Info, Weight Loss Info, Massage Therapy, and Kids Activities. The Expo will be free of charge.
“Last year we held our inaugural 5K Tooth Fairy Fun Run,” said Free Clinic of Simi Valley Executive Director, Fred Bauermeister, “This year, we look forward to even more runners with the addition of the 10K course. The very popular 1K Kids Fun Run is returning. It is truly a light-hearted, family friendly run and participants are encouraged to dress as tooth fairies with wings, tutus, and wands.”
Registration for the Tooth Fairy Fun Run is now open on the Free Clinic of Simi Valley’s website at www.FreeClinicSV.com/expo. Leashed dogs that are registered for the race will be allowed to run with their masters.
Non-runners will be encouraged to participate by sponsoring runners, by cheering their favorite runners on, and by posting to the Expo’s social media sites. 2013’s Expo netted a little under $15,000. “With the addition of the 10K course and the sponsored runners, the Clinic hopes to double that amount this year,” said Bauermeister.
