Abraham Orthodontics hosted 500 people from Windsor-Essex at Mastronardi Estate Winery to raise funds for the Erie Shores Health Foundation and help bring an MRI to Essex County.
The Jody Raffoul Band performed, and Dr. Maxwell and Christen Abraham presented a donation of more than $50,000.
The event was part of the foundation’s Year of a Thousand Parties initiative. Businesses, including Lester Group, Canadian Tire and Atlas Tube, donated raffle prizes, supported a 50/50 draw, and pledged amounts matched by Abraham Orthodontics.
Last year, the company raised $15,000 in an initial effort through a holiday social.
“This was such an amazing outpouring of support for Erie Shores and bringing imaging that everyone outside Windsor may need, as Erie Shores’ catchment includes all of the county and Wheatley in Chatham-Kent,” said Christen Abraham, community outreach coordinator and co-founder of Abraham Orthodontics. “We are so grateful for our sponsors and the work of the leadership at the hospital and foundation in making this a reality to bring accessible diagnostic treatment close to home.
“We always seek ways to support families in our community beyond their smiles and are thrilled to be a small part of this effort.”
