Chandler orthodontist raises firefighter funds Area residents can participate in a unique Yarnell Firefighter Emergency Fund fundraiser sponsored by Aspen Orthodontics, 3980 E. Riggs Rd., Suite No. 1, Chandler. For every person who submits a “like” on the Aspen Orthodontics Facebook page, the office will donate $1 to the fund. The Yarnell Firefighter Emergency Fund helps families who lost their husbands, fathers and family members to the recent fires. “We are always looking for ways
to be a community-minded business,” says Aspen Orthodontics office manager Carol Stuart. “We saw this as an opportunity to allow children to participate in helping without having to use their own funds.” Aspen Orthodontics raised more than $687 in just one week; their goal is $6,000.

‘Stuff the Bus’ continues collecting school supplies
The Valley’s annual Fulton Homes “Stuff the Bus” donation drive continues to run during regular hours through Sun., Aug 4 at Chandler Fashion Center, 3111 W. Chandler Blvd., Chandler. New school supplies, clothing and backpacks are being collected for children in need at ICAN-Positive Programs for Youth in Chandler. A fullsize school bus parked inside the Macy’s Court contains painted handprints with lists of items each child requires for a successful school year. Participants can donate to a specific child or make a general contribution of
requested items, such as pencils, pens, notebooks, backpacks, school uniforms or shoes. Shoppers can also return the handprint with school supplies to the mall’s Guest Services area near Barnes & Noble. The campaign is sponsored by a partnership between Fulton Homes and KEZ 99.9. Donations are also accepted at all KEZ events and remotes as well. To learn more, visit kez999.com and search keywords “stuff the bus,” or visit fultonhomes.com and click on Fulton Foundation.
