PainCare - Pain Management in New Hampshire

Providers and staff of PainCare of Plymouth had a wonderful time attending the First Star Tonight 25th Anniversary Benefit and Gala Event, which was held on Friday, March 30th at The Common Man Inn in Plymouth. First Star Tonight is an organization serving chronically and terminally ill children and young adults of the Pemi-Baker Valley, and its mission is simply to bring light into their lives.

PainCare’s northern New Hampshire Regional Office Manager, Daniel Sprague, will be running the Maine Marathon on September 30, 2012 to raise money for CADY Inc. (Communities for Alcohol and Drug-free Youth). CADY is a non-profit organization formed in 2000 based in Plymouth, NH that directly serves 17 surrounding rural towns. CADY's mission is to reduce and prevent youth alcohol, tobacco and other drug use and to promote healthy environments and promising futures for local youth.

Danny was first introduced to CADY and its staff in early 2011 through PainCare’s sponsorships of educational and fundraising events. Since that time, he has seen how dedicated and passionate the organization is about raising awareness and educating teens on these important issues. With the growing problem of prescription drug abuse among teens, CADY's mission is more important than ever before in alerting and educating teens on the dangers of these potentially dangerous drugs.  Please take some time to visit the CADY website at www.cadyinc.org to learn more about their great work.

Danny’s goal is to raise $2,000 for CADY so that they may continue to raise awareness for these issues. Please support CADY by going to Danny’s fundraising page (http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/danielsprague/mainemarathon2012) and making a donation. Both Danny and CADY appreciate any support you can give.

PainCare of Plymouth is proudly sponsoring the Plymouth Area Community Closet for its Keep the Heat On Fuel Assistance Fundraiser, being held Wednesday, January 18^th at the Plymouth Regional Senior Center. The goal of the event is to raise funds for PACC so that they may provide heating assistance to needy families in the area. Last winter PACC distributed $45,000 for fuel assistance, and this year needs help from the generous public as funds for this purpose have been depleted.

The fundraiser dinner is sold out for this year, but donations may still be made out to PACC/KTHO and mailed to The Plymouth Area Community Closet, 5 So. Main St., PO Box 434, Plymouth, NH 03264. (Follow their Facebook page)
