Local Teen Wins T-shirt Design Contest
Associated Orthodontists adapts new design for patient shirts

Kate Weithers, Frankfort resident and student at Lincoln-Way East High School, was named winner of the Associated Orthodontists t-shirt design contest. The contest, which took place earlier this year, was open to all AO patients.
Kari Clauss, Marketing Coordinator with AO, facilitated the contest and oversaw the design committee. “We had a hard time choosing a final winner because we received so many great designs and ideas,” said Kari. “We chose Kate’s because it incorporated components of our logo and represented the mission and culture of AO.”
Kate, a senior at Lincoln-Way East, is an aspiring artist and will be studying art when she attends college next fall.
