Canton Valley Dental is participating again this year in "Think Pink, Practice Pink" to raise awareness and support to find a cure for breast cancer and other cancers. A portion of the cost of pink dental supplies in the month of October goes to support The American Cancer Society's Hope Lodge, which is a network of free temporary housing services throughout the country where cancer patients and their loved ones are given a comfortable and supportive place to stay during their treatment. They are also provided with information to help them make decisions about disease treatment. Look for the pink supplies the next time you come in to our office.

Congratulations to Dr. Keefe and Melissa Porter for completing the Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk today! Not only did you walk the full 26.2 miles but together you raised $3,000 for this incredible cause. Go "Team Tara"!!
This Marathon is extra special today because of a very special woman who continues to inspire us on a daily basis. Tara Shuman is a 35-year-old mother of two, diagnosed with triple-positive breast cancer in August 2012. This walk today was for her and all the other people whose lives have been affected by cancer.
