We would love to invite all of our patients to participate with us! You can join our team to walk with us or donate online at AFSP.DonorDrive.com/participant/2001980. You can also donate a basket to be raffled at the event and drop it off at the office at 5201 N. Abbe Rd., Sheffield Village, OH 44035, before Sept. 12.
