BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (PRWEB)

The 9th annual Botox & Bingo event held by Village Dermatology allows patients and friends to participate in several games of Bingo in order to win prizes. Individuals are permitted to purchase as many Bingo cards as they would like for $5 a pack. All of the proceeds from these purchases go to a local charity in the Birmingham area. This year the practice has worked with The WellHouse, which takes in women that have been exploited through human trafficking. “Human trafficking takes place in our communities every day. Dr. Sobera has a passion to help the community take a proactive approach to stop human trafficking. She researched and reached out to the Wellhouse several years ago to assist in any way she could. Her work family got behind her passion and together, Village Dermatology has given donations of monies generated from events like Botox and Bingo, donations of items, including furniture and other household items, clothing and skincare. Several employees have dedicated their personal time to become more involved at the Wellhouse. We are honored to support the Wellhouse and The Wellhouse Process to recovery. “explained Audrey Easterwood, Practice Administrator.

The annual event has become a staple in the calendar for most patients of the practice and others wanting to learn more about the prizes being given away. This year there were over 250 individuals in attendance, and the event had to be moved outside to accommodate all of the participants.

“The event allows us the unique opportunity to spend an evening with our friends outside of normal business hours and have some fun. The great thing is that because the event is so well attended we are able to support an amazing local charity like the WellHouse,” explained Dr. Jenny Sobera.

Botox & Bingo is held in the latter part of the year in the month of October. To stay abreast of the next Botox & Bingo event, individuals should follow the practice on social media or sign up for the monthly newsletter offered by the practice.

AuDConnex is stepping up to help provide hearing aids to those in need. The collaborative audiology network/buying group recently launched their Micro-Grant Program. The grant opportunity is being made available to hearing healthcare providers who are aligned with philanthropic work in their community and abroad.

“At AuDConnex we truly believe in providing support and access to help others. Giving the gift of hearing is so rewarding and we want to be able to pass that gift along to people who otherwise would not be able to afford it,” says Richard Johnson, Au.D., co-owner of AuDConnex.

The micro-grant allows hearing healthcare providers to apply for up to 20 free hearing aids per year to utilize through philanthropic work in their local market or as part of an international mission. Applicants must be an ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat doctor), audiologist or Hearing Instrument Specialist, describe the scope of the work or project they are aligning with and the mission’s goals. Each application will be reviewed and rated by the founders of AuDConnex.

“By offering these grants we hope that we will further engage the members of our industry to participate in community outreach efforts and to use their talents to help people in need with hearing loss improve their hearing and quality of life. Giving back not only helps others, but it is good for our souls,” adds Johnson.

Prior to joining Sunbelt HP, Vines was the chief operating officer for RSource Healthcare, a Boca Raton-based specialist in the collection of problematic healthcare claims. Before joining RSource, Vines was Director of Operations at AHC Healthcare Receivables.
