MARCH 1, 2008

 

Successful Spring Fundraiser!

We are excited to announce that our Swing into Spring Fundraiser collected $20,645.00 for the Fayette Care Clinic! We are so grateful for all of you who supported us in this event. Those who attended had a wonderful time eating, dancing, and being merry together for a wonderful cause. Harold Seay & the Boogie Shoes delighted us with great dancing music. The auction was a huge success, as well as a lot of fun.

We especially wish to thank Glendalough Manor and Gary Marullo for allowing us to borrow their facilities and for providing the sumptuous feast. We are grateful to all who were present at the gala, to all who donated auction items, and all who bid on them. We are also grateful to Bill MacDonald for being our fearless auctioneer. Without all of you, this fundraiser would not have been as successful.

Finally, thank you to Ginger Blackstone who worked so tirelessly planning and preparing for this event. We look forward to another wonderful event next year!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Fayette CARE Clinic’s second annual fund-raiser, dubbed, “Swing into Spring,” was a big success, raising more than $17,000 for operation of the free clinic. Held April 20th at Glendalough Manor in Tyrone, GA, the event brought in much-needed funding to help support the clinic, which provides free primary medical and dental treatment to the qualified, working uninsured of Fayette County.

“Our entire Board sends a very special ‘thank you’ to Burt Clark of TCG Holdings LLC in Tyrone and Gary Murello, who owns and operates the beautiful Glendalough Manor. It is their kindness and generosity which led them to support our fund-raiser by donating the facility, food and drink for the event,” says Ginger Blackstone, event coordinator and VP of the Fayette CARE Clinic. “We could not raise this kind of money without their support. Both Gary and Burt have been unwavering supporters of the Fayette CARE Clinic, supporting not only this year’s event, but our first annual fund-raiser last spring, as well. And we are so grateful to them.”

In addition to the delectable food and drink, silent and live auctions were held and raised more than $7,000 of the total. Auctioneer extraordinaire Bill MacDonald of Peachtree City Jewelers lead an exciting round of bidding for many items, including a week at a luxury condo in Destin, FL, an executive suite at the Braves game Memorial Day Weekend, dazzling jewelry and many other tantalizing goodies.

Fayette CARE Clinic Announces

Annual Appeal

Fayetteville, GA – The Board of Directors of the Fayette CARE Clinic make their annual appeal for financial contributions in support of Fayette County’s free medical and dental clinic. Tax deductible donations will be used for the direct support and operation of the clinic located at 128 Sumner Road and Hwy 54 between Peachtree City and Fayetteville. Since the opening in May, the clinic has provided medical and dental care to more than 500 individuals and does so at no charge to the patient.

 

“In our first 19 weeks (May 1 to September 30), we treated 444 patients for such medical illnesses as hypertension, diabetes, tooth extractions, fillings and root canals,” says Gail McNair, President of the board. “We have recently expanded our service hours to include Wednesday from 10AM to 2PM in addition to our Tuesday evening hours of 6PM to 9PM.”

 

The clinic provides services to residents of Fayette County who do not have medical insurance and meet the government stated income guidelines. Appointments can be made by calling the clinic at 770-487-4778.

 

“During our first 19 weeks, the clinic provided medical services for 27% of the typical costs,” says Mary Ann Cox, Executive Director of the clinic. “This cost will continue to decline as we extend our operating hours. This means that we are able to provide primary medical and dental treatment for less than one-third the normal cost – stretching donations and helping more people.”

 

“Those of us who are blessed with medical insurance and good health should make the Fayette CARE Clinic one of the charities they routinely support,” says Chuck Micallef, member of the board. “Companies, churches, civic organizations and individuals need to give to help our neighbors in need of medical attention – especially the children. All donations go directly to help those here in Fayette County making this a very unique opportunity to help others.”

 

Donations are needed to fund the operation of the clinic and will be used to purchase medical and dental supplies, medications and cover other operating expenses.

 

In addition to donations, we also seek volunteers to help with the extended hours. Medical and dental professionals are needed in addition to individuals and organizations to help with general office services.

 

Donations can be made by cash, check or by credit card using Paypal at www.fayettecareclinic.com. All donations are immediately followed by a receipt. For more information call 770-487-4778 or visit www.fayettecareclinic.com.
