Help us restock Bellevue pantry shelves

Those who donate by July 18 will see their contributions turned into artwork. These will be used at Bellevue’s Riverfest celebration as part of the Can Opener Sculpting Contest, where competing teams will turn the cans into giant sculptures with a patriotic theme.

Akridge & Akridge will continue to collect donations through September as part of the office’s ongoing community service projects.

Bellevue Riverfest will be held from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. July 18 and 7 a.m. to 1 a.m. July 19 at Haworth Park. Other events include a Balloon Glow Friday evening and the “Fireworks Extravaganza” Saturday night, Kidz Zone,  RiverFest Run, and Car Show & Shine.  The event also hosts the Nebraska State BBQ Competition.

RiverFest is only $1 at the gate and the public is welcome to bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the music and fireworks; however, coolers will not be allowed.

T-shirts for Heart Walk 2014

Patients and friends of Akridge & Akridge Chiropractic have the opportunity to support the team participating in the May 10 Heart Walk.

Team t-shirts are available for purchase for $12 each. Midwest Impressions, who is designing and printing the t-shirts, will donate 5 percent of the cost of the shirts back to Team Akridge to boost their total donation to the American Heart Association.

The shirts have a feel similar to American Apparel-style t-shirts and are very soft and stretchy, said Jenn Jorgensen, director of marketing. They run true to size and will not shrink in the dryer.

Akridge & Akridge Chiropractic will join other teams at the  Heart Walk on May 10, 2014 at Miller’s Landing, 151 Freedom Park Road, Omaha. Opening ceremonies start at 9 a.m. and the walk is scheduled for 9:30.
