Sarah Bush Lincoln Healthy Communities raised a record $17,325 for the SBL Dental Program from 2025 Races for all Paces.
The SBL Dental Program provides preventive and restorative care for children throughout the area. A dental team visits schools to provide the preventive care while the restorative care is provided in the dental clinic at 225 Richmond Avenue East, Suite B, in Mattoon. Volunteer dentists are key partners in the program, providing restorative care in their clinics for children who need additional or further extensive care.
“We were so grateful for the community’s support at Races for all Paces, and that enables us to give back to the community in great ways,” SBL Healthy Communities Director Tracy Haddock said. “The dental program helps so many children in our communities, and the proceeds will allow us to continue to provide that service.”
Last year, the SBL dental team visited 66 schools throughout the region and served nearly 2,800 children on its mobile bus. 18,874 procedures were performed, and 61 percent of the children treated had active decay.
Haddock thanks everyone who participated at Races for all Paces and for the volunteers, SBL employees and partners who made the event so successful.
SBL thanks Races for all Paces Title Partners First Mid Wealth Management and SC3F Wealth Management. SBL also thanks 10K sponsor Rural King and 5K sponsor KC Summers.
