Again this year Get It Straight Orthodontics is conducting its Annual Food Drive/ Patient Contest in support of those needing our help in Pittsford NY, Rochester NY , Macedon NY , and the surrounding areas in Monroe, Wayne, and Ontario counties.
Drs Giangreco, Preston, and Cortese continue to stress the importance of helping those less fortunate during tough economic times. As always, we make it fun for our patients to contribute by combining the food drive with our holiday contest. For each non-perishable food item donated at either of our two locations in Pittsford, NY and Macedon, NY you receive a raffle ticket to possibly win one of three prizes. Winners for the drawings will be notified after the 12/31/09 drawing. For more information on how the contest works, watch our video to the left.
