MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas -- Connect 2 Health Wellness Center is hosting a Grand Opening fundraiser celebration on Saturday, July 11, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with all proceeds will go to the Montgomery County Women's Center. Chiropractor, Dr. Amber Smith, is sponsoring the full-day event featuring moonwalks, snow cones, cotton candy, face painting, live music, along with free breakfast and coffee provided by Cafe Del Mar in Spring.

"This is going to be a good day for us to connect with the community and to do something good for the women's shelter," Dr. Smith said.

Amanda Stephens with Connect 2 Health has organized numerous sponsors for raffle items including: Wal-Mart, Babins, Academy, Starbucks, and Smoothie King.
