Want to Help Provide Health Care to Those in Need?

So, among all the other things I'm involved in, this year I am helping plan UC Davis School of Medicine's 31st Annual UC Davis Wine Tasting and Auction Benefit! It helps benefit our seven awesome student-run clinics (the ones you all hear me talk your ears off about)! Well, the clinics are entirely not-for-profit and we host many small fundraisers throughout the year to be able to keep them open and continue to provide free health care to those who don't have access to it. Anyway, this Auction Benefit is where most of our funds come from.

It's basically a real fancy Wine Tasting and Auction event here at the med school where all the alumni, faculty, residents, and students come and drink a little, mingle and bid on auction items. It's like one of the biggest events the SOM puts on! Last week we just sent out the first 500 invitations to local alumni, and we will soon be sending out more invites.

The event will take place the first weekend of January, but of course we need to collect auction items now!

So if you have any special talents, services, and/or products that you would love to donate please please let me know! Also, since there will be tons of docs and faculty in attendance,  chances are your company will be highly promoted (ie. great business opportunity for ya).

Send me an email or drop me a line if you are interested so I can give you the deetz!
