have a blast while helping those in need!
The Postbacc Premedical Association and Social Justice Medicine Club
are pleased to co-sponsor a clothing swap fundraiser.
How does it work? You pay $10 to take as many new-to-you clothes and
accessories as you want. If you bring clothes to swap, you only pay
$5.00. It is free to bring clothes and/or enjoy a coffee break while
learning about healthcare in Haiti. The event is open to both men and
women, and there are already lots of cool clothes that have been
donated!
Who benefits? Maison de Naissance (http://www.maisondenaissance.com/)
is a medical clinic in rural Haiti. The clinic and surrounding
village have been hit by several hurricanes over the last few months.
The building has even been hit by lightning, yet still continues to
provide medical care 24 hours a day, often without electricity. 100%
of your tax-deductible monetary donation goes to the clinic.
Also, many of the clothes that remain at the end of event will be
donated to St. Luke's Hospital for patients needing clothes to wear
home after being released. The remainder of the items will be given
to the Salvation Army.
When? This coming Wednesday, October 8th from 3pm-6pm.
Where? The ramps in Lerner Hall.
Bet you never looked so fab while doing a little good for the world!
If you have any questions or would like to donate time or money,
please contact Andrea Palestro <amp2152@columbia.edu>
We look forward to seeing you there!
