Hilgers Orthodontics, supporting the American Cancer Society

Dr. Michael Hilgers and our friends at Hilgers Pediatric Dentistry continue to support the American Cancer Society, which for more than 60 years has led the way in cancer research while educating the public about treatment and prevention. Cancer has surpassed heart disease as the leading cause of death of Americans under age 85.

Through research funding, patient services, and advocacy, the American Cancer Society has already made great progress. Cancer occurrence and death rates for most cancers are on the decline, and more than 10 million cancer survivors are alive today.

Our entire staff at Hilgers Orthodontics encourage you to donate this worthy organization (above are Dr. Michael Hilgers and spouse Dr. Kelly Hilgers at the 2009 Jewel Ball).

Both Dr. Mike and Dr. Kelly are very involved in Goodyear community charities, and are particularly involved with children's causes and local non-profits. We donated to the Insight.com bowl and the Fiesta Bowl and have also worked with the Phoenix Coyotes Children charity as well. We are very active in our community and understand the importance of giving back to make the world a better place.

Have a great weekend!
