Each Saturday, Saint Louis University medical school students volunteer their time providing free medical services at the Health Resource Center (HRC), their clinic in North St. Louis that provides care to uninsured and underinsured individuals.
While the treatment is free, the cost to run the clinic is not, so student volunteers are hosting an auction to raise funds 6 p.m. Saturday, April 12 at Il Monastero, 3050 Olive St., on Saint Louis University’s campus. Patrons will have the opportunity to bid on items including tickets to Disney World, a Lou Brock retro jersey and Rams tickets. Last year’s auction raised more than $43,000, providing roughly 90 percent of the clinic’s operating budget.
Tickets may be purchased in advance or at the door. To purchase tickets online, visit http://giving.slu.edu/hrcauction. For more information about how to support or receive care at HRC, email sluhrc@gmail.com or call 314-389-0008.
