Brightman Chiropractic and Sports Medicine

11/13/2021

Brightman Chiropractic has decided to set up a donation bin with United For The Troops. With the holiday's coming up we want to do something to give back to others. This organization ships to service members so that they can get items "they miss the most."

In addition, they will be sending packages to Brett's husband who is deployed for the holidays. He will be able to distribute items to Marines who do not receive packages from home.

Please consider donating any item, big or small, to help support this cause for the holidays!

As always we hope everyone is staying healthy and safe.
Happy Holidays to all!

Thank you,
Dr. B and Staff
