Dr. Cottingham at The Fight For Life Foundation's "Fright Night"

Dr. Karen Cottingham and friends celebrated Halloween by attending a "Fright Night" event for The Fight For Life Foundation, formerly known as the Marlin Jackson Fight For Life Foundation, established in 2007 by Marlin Jackson to help inner city and low income youth make positive life changing decisions.

In 2010, Antoine Bethea (smile courtesy of Dr. C) and Melvin Bullitt of the Indianapolis Colts decided to team up with Jackson and formed the Fight for Life Foundation. The choices children make can have an impact on them for the rest of their lives. Any foundation that helps children succeed is always of interest to Dr. Cottingham. She believes that changing the smile of a child also has a great positive impact. Several Colts players were in attendance to support their friends and the foundation.
