Giving back to the community is one of the many things important to us at Progressive Dental. Across our offices throughout the Southern Tier of New York and Northeastern Pennsylvania, we proudly support local schools, nonprofit organizations, youth programs, healthcare initiatives, educational outreach efforts, and community events.

From Children’s Dental Health Month presentations to local sponsorships, fundraising initiatives, scholarships, and volunteer efforts, our team believes strongly in supporting the communities we serve both inside and outside the dental office.

Supporting the Southern Tier Community Center

Dr. Sonny Spera has always believed that building a strong community starts with supporting its youth. Growing up in Endicott, NY, he saw firsthand how access to safe, enriching spaces can shape a child’s future. That’s why Progressive Dental is proud to sponsor the Southern Tier Community Center, helping to provide vital programs that keep kids active, engaged, and supported. But we can’t do it alone. The center relies on community contributions to continue offering these life-changing resources. Join us in making a difference—every donation helps create opportunities for local children to learn, grow, and thrive. Watch Dr. Spera’s story to see why giving back matters.
