Please help me reach my goal of raising $500 for Family Tree Clinic

My life was saved by routine cervical cancer screening. Please help Family Tree Clinic with this very important work

Dear Friends and Family

As some of you know, I am honored to serve on the board of the Family Tree Clinic (www.familytreeclinic.org) located in the heart of Saint Paul. I love this clinic for many reasons but mostly for its dedication to its vision to eliminate health disparities through innovative, personalized sexual health care and education.

As a cervical cancer survivor -almost 15 years, I personally know just how important these services are. I also know that women without health insurance put off or just don't go to the doctor even though their life may depend on it. I was lucky. I'm asking for your support in this important work to make health care access available to all women.

As a board member and supporter I’m committing to raising $500 for this grassroots staple in our community.

Family Tree Clinic is a non-profit clinic was Founded in 1971, that provides low cost, confidential, personalized and high quality reproductive and sexual health care to thousands of individuals every year. For every dollar spent they save us taxpayers, and the state, $5 through extremely cost effective preventive health care. In 2009 alone, Family Tree Clinic served 17,000 individuals, provided over 1,200 years worth of birth control, over 3,700 low cost STI tests, and over 10,000 teens and young adults with evidence-based and proven effective comprehensive sex education.

You can give now. Your gift in any amount will help Family Tree Clinic continue their work as a vital safety net to low income and uninsured Minnesotans.

However, next Tuesday November 16th this is Give Max Day . If you donate on Tuesday there is a possibility for a match to your pledge. Every hour, GiveMN will choose a donor at random and add $1,000 onto their gift! It’s an exciting way to participate in Minnesota’s long-standing history of remarkable philanthropy. Last year, more than 38,000 individuals visited GiveMN.org and donated $14 million to 3,434 nonprofits, setting the single-day record for online philanthropic giving. Help us break the record! The board, staff and patients of Family Tree Clinic thank you in advance for your support.

Thank you for supporting this clinic that I love and making a difference in the lives of many.

My best, Janet
