Get out the white dress clothes, because Palencia Dental is hosting a Filling the Gap charity event August 20th at the Pioneer Barn starting at 7pm benefiting the Wildflower Clinic!
The Wildflower Clinic, located at 268 Herbert Street St. Augustine, is a Good Samaritan Health Center, which provides free medical and dental services and health education to St. Johns County residents who are uninsured and unable to afford services. The mission of the Wildflower Clinic is to advance the health and well-being of qualifying St. Johns County residents requiring medical and dental care. The Wildflower Clinic seeks to promote optimal health outcomes through direct patient services and individualized instruction in a caring, compassionate environment.
Dr. Stephanie Kinsey, of Palencia Dental is the founder and president of Filling The Gap says, “As a doctor, my call is to provide quality dental care to those in need of our services. Every day I fix broken teeth, do implants, help to mitigate TMJ, dentures, crowns, cavities, you name it and we probably do it at Palencia Dental. But the people who walk into our offices either have insurance or can afford the treatment. What about those who can’t afford it but are in pain and need someone to help them?”
Dr. Kinsey created the non-profit organization to help other foundations in need, such as the Wildflower Clinic where anyone from poverty stricken and uninsured to even homeless are welcome in their doors. Palencia Dental will be hosting the “White Party” themed fundraiser event at the Pioneer Barn where all proceeds will go to the Wildflower Clinic.
Tickets are able to purchased early online for $70, while at the door tickets will be sold for $100.
The Pioneer Barn at Fort Menendez is located in downtown St. Augustine at 259 San Marco Avenue. There will be live music from 7pm-10pm, cold drinks and sizzling hot appetizers to help rock the night away for a great cause. There will also be a silent auction where all proceeds earned will go toward keeping the Wildflower Clinic’s doors open to St. Johns County Residents in need.
