Winter Fundraiser Dates: January 30th - March 3rd, 2023

  

We are supporting our local furry friends again this year.  This fundraiser is in remembrance of our first "Therapy Dog, Thea." In Thea's name, all proceeds will support Pound Buddies of Muskegon and Oceana County Animal Shelter. Thea brought peace to many here at Beacom Family Chiropractic. Thank you for helping us pay it forward to other furry friends in need.

Food Supply Drive Dates: May 1st - June 2nd, 2023

   The second fundraiser of the year is held to support our White Lake Area Food Pantry. Each year BFC collects non-perishable food items as well as hygiene products during a time of the year when the food pantry does not get as many donations. With the help from practice members, the past two years BFC has donated over 2000 pounds of food. "It is a wonderful thing to watch people in our community come together to help others. It is heart warming to see two pickup trucks filled to the brim with donations for the food pantry," says Dr. Helena. Everyone at BFC loves providing much needed supplies to the White Lake Area Food Pantry. "We appreciate the work you do to help people in our community & your concern about hunger. Thank you once again for your work to help alleviate hunger in Whitehall & Montague." Revs. Pam & Keith Koebel, Co-pastors of White Lake Congregational U.C.C. and Karen Bonczyk, coordinator of Share the Blessing Food Pantry.

 

Look for Beacom Family Chiropractic in the White Lake Area 4th of July Parade!

Beginning at 10am, the White Lake Area 4th of July parade will travel from Whitehall City Hall to Downtown Montague. Over 100 entries are involved in this family-fun annual parade. Beacom Family Chiropractic is a part of this fabulous event every other year. Look for our BFC Spine T-Shirts walking the parade on odd years or on the sidelines during even years.  Either way, you will see members of BFC supporting our lovely community. Come on down and cheer for your favorite Chiropractic office!

 

School Supply Drive Dates: August 3rd - September 4th, 2023

The third fundraiser is a backpack and school supply drive for the Whitehall and Montague elementary schools. With help from our practice members and community, BFC raised over 8,000 items to aid with the budget cuts that are hurting our schools. Teachers get the chance to supply their classrooms with much needed items while children get to privately pick out the items that their parents cannot afford. "Having our children as well as our Chiropractic families in the White Lake area schools, it makes us happy to support the teachers each year," says Dr. Brent. "Oehrli Elementary and the Montague Area Childhood Center are blessed to be part of such a caring and giving community . For the past several years, staff and students at Montague have benefited from the generosity of the Beacom Family Chiropractic School Supply Drive. Due to this generous gift, we have been able to provide students with backpacks and other school supplies that they otherwise would not have had. Our teachers have received supplies that are needed in the classroom as well. The staff and students are very appreciative." Jeff Henderson, MACC and Oehrli Principal

 

Christmas on the Reservation Dates: October 2nd - November 17th, 2023

The fourth fundraiser is called Christmas on the Reservation. BFC decorates their office for Christmas and collects gifts for the Native American children in Montana. A group of Chiropractors called The New Renaissance started a non-profit organization in 2005 called Love Has No Color. Sadly, the Native American children live in Third World conditions and often do not have enough food or clothing. Deb Fick, a BFC's former CA, said, "Seeing the kids run for free shoes was eye-opening when we visited Fort Peck in 2012. Seeing first hand all of these children in need just made me want to do more. Going to Fort Peck to give out the gifts in December 2013 and 2015 was gratifying to see how much the kids appreciate our efforts. We made their Christmas!"

When LHNC began 13 years ago, donations went towards building out a movie theater and the Chiropractic Clinic.  The entire building was condemned at that time.  Seven years of work and hundreds of volunteers later, both were completed. Since then, the kids have a social meeting pace that provides protection from dangerous influences like gangs, drugs and crime.  Food is often provided for the children at the movie theater.  Last year, in 2019, a 100% of donations to LHNC went towards the preservation and maintenance of the theater. Those donations provided a safe haven for the kids on the reservation.  Thank you to everyone who has participated since LHNC began!

Chiropractors and their practice members from all over the country have the opportunity to visit the Fort Peck Reservation and hand out the presents that were collected through the months of October and November. To learn more about Love Has No Color, please visit: www.savethereservation.org.
