David - that was such a great idea to include other inducements to come to the Awareness like the bloodmobile for Boston and the checking for skin cancer, and I'm sure the free sodas helped, too! It's a wonderful opportunity for people to get everything checked all a the same event!! You mentioned music for next year - Well, gotta say that the music at the Chattanooga walk last Saturday was phenomenal!! It really made me want to get up and dance. And some little ones actually did! I used to have a dentist that would allow patients to bring their own music to listen to with their ear buds. Music does have charm to sooth the worried dental patient!
