Help me empower our young people to have control over their sexual health

Dear Friends and Family

As many of you know, I am honored to serve on the board of the Family Tree Clinic (www.familytreeclinic.org ), a non-profit sexual health clinic located in the heart of Saint Paul, Minnesota. 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 for our youth and young adults especially in the African-American community.

It has been a rewarding experience to influence change that will save lives and empower young people and those in need to have control over their sexual health. I ask for your help and support

As a board member and supporter I’m committing to raising $500 on or before November 16th .

Giving money is never easy, especially in tight economic times, but I would greatly appreciate any contribution you could make to help me reach my goal of $500. Your gift in any amount will help Family Tree Clinic continue their work as a vital safety net to low income and uninsured Minnesotans.
