Alternate Gift-Giving Campaign
We are continuing a tradition of alternative holiday gift-giving — instead of asking people to buy things you don't need, ask them to donate money in your name. We would like to invite you to participate in this Alternative Gift-Giving Campaign by donating funds toward the purchase of supplies and/or equipment for our clinic.
