Harper Lastick has been chosen to create a signature art piece that captures the spirit and energy of an IRONMAN race while incorporating recognizable San Francisco landmarks.Her submitted piece is acrylic on canvas.

IRONMAN California stands out as one of the premier triathlon events in the country, hosted in the vibrant city of Sacramento. Known for its fast, athlete-friendly course, the race delivers an unforgettable experience for both participants and spectators. Athletes begin with a downriver 2.4-mile swim—celebrated as one of the best swim courses in North America—before transitioning to a 112-mile bike ride through scenic farmland and wine country. The event concludes with a spirited 26.2-mile run, lined with cheering supporters, and finishes at the iconic California State Capitol, offering a powerful backdrop for the achievement of becoming an IRONMAN.

Colorado Mission of Mercy (COMOM) is a nonprofit organization that hosts a large-scale, two-day free dental clinic in a different Colorado community each year. Since 2007, COMOM has served more than 20,000 patients and provided over $18 million in donated dental services.

The clinics are open to anyone in need and are held in large venues—such as schools or event centers—that they transform into fully functional, 125-chair dental facilities. Over two days, patients receive cleanings, fillings, root canals, extractions, dentures, and ceramic crowns—all at no cost. This effort is made possible through the support of nearly 200 volunteer dentists, along with hygienists, assistants, lab technicians, healthcare professionals, and hundreds of community volunteers. Beyond relieving pain, they restore oral health and appearance—helping patients regain confidence, dignity, and even employment opportunities.

This year, the clinic will be held in Loveland at The Ranch on October 17–18. They expect to serve more than 1,600 patients with the help of over 2,000 volunteers. Because of Loveland’s proximity, this could be a valuable resource for many BVSD students and families.

Learn more on the COMOM website.

Cuidado Dental Gratuito

Colorado Mission of Mercy (COMOM) es una organización sin fines de lucro que ofrece una clínica dental gratuita a gran escala de dos días de duración en una comunidad diferente de Colorado cada año. Desde 2007, COMOM ha atendido a más de 20,000 pacientes y ha proporcionado más de $18 millones en servicios dentales donados.

Las clínicas están abiertas a cualquier persona que lo necesite y se realizan en grandes espacios, como escuelas o centros de eventos, que se transforman en instalaciones dentales completamente funcionales con 125 sillas. Durante dos días, los pacientes reciben limpiezas, empastes, endodoncias, extracciones, prótesis dentales y coronas de cerámica, todo sin costo. Esta iniciativa es posible gracias al apoyo de casi 200 dentistas voluntarios, junto con higienistas, asistentes, técnicos de laboratorio, profesionales de la salud y cientos de voluntarios de la comunidad. Además de aliviar el dolor, restauran la salud y la apariencia bucal, ayudando a los pacientes a recuperar la confianza, la dignidad e incluso las oportunidades laborales.

Este año, la clínica se llevará a cabo en Loveland, en The Ranch, los días 17 y 18 de octubre. Se espera atender a más de 1600 pacientes con la ayuda de más de 2000 voluntarios. Debido a la proximidad a Loveland, esta oportunidad podría ser un recurso valioso para muchos estudiantes y familias del BVSD.
