August 27th was the "Share a Smile" Triathlon. The purpose was to help raise money for a permanent charity dental clinic at the new Food and Care Coalition site. This will be a place where all dental professional from the Utah Valley area can continue to donate their time and skills to the homeless and poor in our community. Monique (2nd attendant) and Brittney (3rd attendant) were there with me to help serve at this event.
Jake helped organize all the volunteers for this years' event as his eagle scout project.
This fundraiser is lead by Dr. Eric Vogel, D.D.S and Dr. Steve Berry, D.D.S. (pictured).
There were a lot of volunteers of all ages!
Also lots of athletes.
The triathlon included a 1/4 mile swim, a 10 mile bike ride and a 3.2 mile run.
There was also a children's race.
The children swam 1 length of the Scera pool, rode their bikes for 1/2 mile and ran for 1/4 mile.
Way to go kids!
Brittney, Monique and I were stationed at the corner of Orem Center Street and University Avenue.
There was a public safety volunteer with us as well.
We cheered the bikers on.
What a fun event and a worthy cause. Thanks Dr. Vogel for all the charitable work you do in our community.Love, Miss Orem 2011
