Events to support our mission
Annual Fundraiser
Our annual fundraising event, A Toast to Health, highlights WelcomeHealth's medical and dental accomplishments by honoring a special volunteer, donor or community partner with the Jessie Bryant “Service First” Award.
This year’s event was held on Friday, August 9 at the Janelle Y. Hembree Alumni House on the University of Arkansas campus. We proudly presented the Jessie Bryant Service First Award to our largest and most loyal supporter, the Willard & Pat Walker Charitable Foundation.
The event was from 6-9 p.m. and approximately 120 people attended. During the event, we made a plea for mental health support by introducing the Macke Mental Wellness Initiative named after long-time friend of our clinic, Mandy Macke. We had hoped to raise $15,000 for the new program and feel a bit short. If you are interested in supporting our efforts, a gift can be made using the QR code below.

Design Your Own Fundraiser
Invite all your closest friends and relatives for your birthday party, but in lieu of gifts, ask for a donation to WelcomeHealth. Make a gift in honor of a teacher, mentor or friend. Send memorials for a special person who has passed. Create your own peer-to-peer fundraising event in which you go bowling, have a bake sale, yard sale, walk or race and ask your peers to support your efforts in raising money for WelcomeHealth. The sky is the limit!
