Throughout August, our Portland Clinic took on the Dime Challenge to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Each staff member had a bottle to fill with dimes, and once it was full… they got an ice bucket dumped on their head! 🥶😂

And the big “winner”? Conor! 🎉 His bottle was filled, and he earned the ultimate ice-cold reward! 😂🧊
