White, Greer & Maggard Orthodontics (WGM) might be known for making smiles brighter, but that's not where their impact ends. When speaking with WGM Orthodontist Dr. Lauren Delpont, it's easy to understand what one of the company's top priorities is: community.
"Caring for our community is an integral part of our culture, and we are steadfast in our commitment to give back. We proudly partner with numerous organizations and schools throughout Kentucky to provide as much support as we can," said Dr. Delpont.
One of those partnership has been with the YMCA of Central Kentucky, where over the last ten years, we've worked together to bring fulfilling and enriching youth programming to the region. From summer camp to sports, WGM's support has helped create programs that aren't just fun — they're indispensable to a child's development. And that's something Dr. Delpont knows a thing or two about, as her own daughter has participated in YMCA swim lessons and soccer programs.
"My five-year-old daughter has greatly enjoyed participating in swim lessons and the Pre-K soccer program at our local YMCA. As her mom, I'm so thankful for the great opportunities the YMCA provides our children close to home."
With the support of WGM, the YMCA of Central Kentucky is able to make these programs accessible and affordable for families, so all children have the opportunity to thrive and experience the fun, welcoming environment of YMCA programs. But that's not where the growth stops. By engaging in Y activities, our kids are able to combine mental agility with physical fitness, as well as build confidence, social skills, and the ability to handle setbacks.
"I think that sports help children develop social, mental, and physical skills. Together, these skills help develop teamwork, communication, leadership, relationships, fitness, concentration, self-esteem, patience, problem solving, and decision-making skills."
Through their support of the YMCA of Central Kentucky's youth programs, WGM is helping us establish safe spaces, foster fun, and promote healthy habits in the next generation of leaders. We are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate and offer high-quality programming that benefits everyone.
