Jeep Renegade awarded in dental office referral contest

Arkansas Family Dental staff, doctors and patients recently gathered at Rusty Tractor Vineyards in Little Rock to celebrate with a Patient Appreciation Event. The winner of the highly anticipated and biggest prize of the night – a brand new Jeep Renegade – was also announced. 

Arkansas Family Dental awarded a Jeep Renegade 4×4 as a result of its patient referral program that has been running since February 2019. The patient who made the most patient referrals won the Jeep. The event in itself was a continuation of that celebration and also included a photo booth, games and coloring station, giant Jenga, Connect Four, baggo, bingo, giveaways and prizes. Hors d’oeuvres from YGFBF Kitchen and locally grown wine from the Vineyard were served throughout the evening.  

“We created our patient referral program several years ago and that program has grown exponentially. We are so thankful for our loyal patients and the referrals they give us. We had this patient appreciation event because of you guys. Thank you for making all of this possible,” said Dr. Tina Nichols before making the big announcement.

Following the awards, attendees gathered outside to watch as Arkansas Family Dental removed the tarp over a cobalt blue 2019 Ford Mustang wrapped in the group’s official logo. With much excitement, they announced that the convertible will be given away at the 2021 Patient Appreciation event. 

“To the Nichols and to the staff, I appreciate Arkansas Family Dental for everything.The opportunity, the lives you touch, for giving us this car (we love it), we cannot thank you enough. They do so much for the community in the ways they give back to everybody. They are such a blessing to all of us,” said Benson before taking a seat in her new ride. 

Referrals counted for the 2021 competition begin as early as Feb. 27, 2020.
