Stretch goal! 50 donors!

May 15, 2016

Thank you to all of you who have stepped up to the challenge. We exceeded expectations and reached our goal in just a few short hours on Friday the 13th! The Clinic still needs financial support, and we believe that your gifts will inspire even more people to give. With 5 days left in the Challenge, we have decided to stretch our goal and aim for 50 new donors to the Clinic! 

Thank you (and please share!)
