The Season of Giving - Home Tour

As my practice continues to grow, I am asked to support many different charities and functions. I am happy to do this and it seems the functions continue to become more diverse and yet reflect many of the passions that I have. This year I have sponsored several youth sporting events and teams, including Eli Pinney Elementary, St. Charles Baseball and Soccer, the Dublin Charity Cup, Dublin Coffman Volleyball and the Nike Cup Soccer Tournament. As I am a frequent listener to NPR on WCBE, I sponsored a donor challenge on two afternoons, first to my fellow medical professionals and another one for my patients and friends. I have suported the American Cancer Society and the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition. I support Scholarship Opportunities for Success which aids education for women of low income. Over the holidays, we are opening our home for the Dublin Women's Club Christmas tour of homes. Our family home will be on tour on Sunday, December 3, from 12N to 5PM. Our home gives an exciting twist to the tour, as it is a Frank Lloyd Wright style home and sits on two acres. Tickets for the event will be sold at the spa and throughout Dublin. The Dublin Women's Club supports education for local students and the Ronald McDonald House. This is the 25th year of the tour. Finally, the Central Ohio Diabetes Association is holding a Deck the Hall Tour of homes in Upper Arlington. This event is dear to my heart, as I lost a beloved brother-in-law to diabetes several years ago. I am sponsoring a scholarship through this organization. This event is held on November 30.
