Easter EGGStravaganza at Concordia Church and Preschool

On Saturday, April 12th Sunga Orthodontics had the opportunity to spend the afternoon at Concordia's annual Easter Eggstravaganza.  As a sponsor, we had an informational booth at the event.  We brought along our prize wheel with prizes including toothbrushes, water bottles, floss, and more.  We were also available to answer any questions people had about orthodontic treatment and their dental health.  It was a wonderful family event that we brought the whole family to.  Dr. Sunga's husband and two boys joined us, as did my husband, Randy.

The morning started with a bunny run obstacle course for the kids followed by an Easter Egg hunt.  According to Melissa from Concordia Church between700-800 children took part in the egg hunt.  After the egg hunt husbands and the kids joined us at the booth.  Other sponsors of the event include Nothing Bundt Cake, Floaties swim school, and Kid Ventures.  We really enjoy taking part in events like these.  It gives us an opportunity to get out and meet more of the awesome families in our community.   Thanks to Concordia Church and Preschool for including us in your event!

Sunga Orthodontics is the FALEO San Diego 2013 business of the year.

Back in February we were honored to learn that we were chosen by the Filipino-American Law Enforcement Organization as their 2013 Business of the year.  We were presented the award at FALEO's 2nd annual membership and scholarship dinner on Friday, February 28th.   The event began at 5PM.  Johnathan headed to the event first with Dr. Sunga and myself (Mae) heading over after the last patient of the day.  Unfortunately we didn't end up making it to the event until after the award presentation so Johnathan accepted the award for us.  It was a great event hosted by 10 News reporter Melissa Mecija and entertainment from the PASACAT dance company.

We became involved with FALEO-SD last year.  FALEO-SD is a non-profit organization comprised mostly of active and retired law enforcement personnel.  FALEO-SD seeks to promote fraternal relationships and cultural awareness among all law enforcement and the communities they serve and protect.  We were introduced to the organization through our cousin Reginald Garcia from Comerica Bank who had just become a member of FALEO. He told us that he joined this organization and thought it was something that we would love to be involved with and support.  He was right.  As a local small business in the South Bay, we strive to support our local organizations, especially those like FALEO-SD that share our same values with regard to strengthening our San Diego community and fostering a family-like support system in both our professional and personal relationships.  FALEO-SD is a great organization headed by awesome people.  They hold awesome events throughout the year.   Just to name a few they held a fundraiser for victims of Typhoon Haiyan and a 5K to help raise health awareness.

We love working with FALEO-SD.  Everyone that we've met through the organization have been wonderful.  Thanks again to the folks at FALEO-SD for the honor and recognition!
