It's hard to believe but 4 weeks have already passed by since we celebrated the 12th Annual DecisionOne Dental Rally! Rally Day, for those unfamiliar, is the one day a year that all of our offices are closed for the day so we can all gather together for a day of motivation, inspiration & celebration!
This year, our camp counselors grabbed their whistles and bandanas, busted out the PB & Oreos, practiced their best handshakes, and invited everyone to back in time to summer camp by attending Camp D1 at the Q Center in St. Charles, IL. Henry David Thoreau inspired us that “You must not only aim right, but draw the bow with all your might”, or as we shortened it to - Aim Right, With Might!
Much like a day at camp, campers spent the day working together, doing challenges, listening to great speakers, playing capture the flag – D1 Style, giving back, and of course having fun. Some of our very own team members took the stage to share their story as well as speaker Andy Thibodeau, a former camp director, who wove his experiences, stories, and activities from camp all throughout our day, ending with everyone “making it rain”. Our friends the Rhythm Messengers were back, we celebrated PI Day the camp way – with a pie eating contest! – and honored some special campers with our MADE Awards for Making A Difference Everyday. We couldn't end without a proper St. Patrick's Day send off as we turned the place green!
It wouldn’t be a day at camp without a trip to the Community Hall – here team members could participate in a scavenger hunt, make bracelets to be donated to Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, create a vision board, get their camp nickname, and visit our vendor partners. Rally day as well as each day in our offices taking care of patients would not be possible without our amazing partner sponsors.
We want to give an extra special thank you to this year’s Platinum Sponsors: Brasseler USA, Henry Schein Dental, Ottawa Dental Laboratory, and Denticon. They all accepted our challenge to get in the camp spirit when they took the stage and boy did they all blow us away.
Thank you as well to ICU Logos, Henry Schein Orthodontics, Solventum Dental, Ultradent Products, Inc. Artistic Dental Lab, BISCO, Inc., Air Techniques, Inc., Colgate, Sensodyne, Philips, Dentsply Sirona, Envista, and GC America for your support!
