SUWANEE - More than 400 guests are expected at the North Gwinnett Schools Foundation's (NGSF) annual dinner/auction Oct. 17, at Bear's Best Suwanee. The Big T' Do, sponsored by Suwanee Dental Care, is the foundation's sole fundraiser; last year, the event raised $84,000.

Established in 2001, the NGSF has provided more than $225,000 for grants and scholarships to teachers and students at the 10 public schools in the North Gwinnett Cluster.

More than 100 items have been donated and will be available for bidding at the Big T' Do. Among the items are exotic vacations in Turks and Caicos and Las Ventañas del Mar in Costa Rica as well as golf lessons with a PGA professional, fishing trips, a duck-hunting excursion, game tickets, and passes to the 2010 Daytona 500 NASCAR race. Other items include an opportunity to be a high school cheerleader or football coach for a day, braces and teeth whitening, art and jewelry, a flat panel TV, services, outdoor fire pit, and signed memorabilia.

Proceeds raised at the 2009 Big T' Do will support schools in the North Gwinnett Cluster as well as those in the future Lanier Cluster.

Dr. Williams Receives 10th Man Award

Sunday September 6th Dr. Williams was given the 10th Man Award at the new Gwinnett Braves Game. This award is given to outstanding memebers of the community who have made a huge impact. Dr. Williams was given this award for many reason. He sponsors the “Big T’ Do” for the North Gwinnett Schools Foundation, a foundation committed to the success of each child in our North Gwinnett cluster. He also works every year with Brighter Smiles for Brighter futures by donating bleaching so the proceeds can benefit Gwinnett Medical Center. He donates total makeovers in the community to people in need working with a local church to determine patients who meet the qualifications of the program. He does full mouth reconstructions for the Give Back a Smile Foundation, a charity devoted to rehabilitating battered women in our local community. Dr. Williams and his Suwanee Dental Care staff volunteer their time each year to the Hebron Dental Clinic. He also does international dental/medical missions each year with his non-profit Kenya Medical Outreach where his team treats thousands of people. He is also a member of the Suwanee Business Alliance and The Chairman's Club of Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce.


Congratulations Dr. Williams, we are proud of you!
