Dawn Center gets aid
On July 23, My Gynecologist held a benefit car wash with its staff and their family members, washing cars in exchange for donated items to benefit the Dawn Center, a domestic violence shelter and sexual crisis center in Hernando County.
More than 50 visitors dropped off donations, which included diapers, baby supplies, food, clothes, formula and health care items. The group also washed 20 cars in exchange for donations to the shelter.
My Gynecologist owner Natalie Leibensperger commented after the event that it was an amazing turnout for the facility’s first car wash.
“We appreciate all the support from the community and plan on hosting more events like this in the future,” Leibensperger said.
