Silent Auction to Benefit UK's Clinic in Ecuador

LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 24, 2015) – The International Federation of Medical Students Association will host a silent art auction Friday, March 27, in the atrium of the University of Kentucky's Biomedical Biological Science Research Building from noon to 5 p.m. Profits from the auction will support UK's Shoulder to Shoulder Clinic in Ecuador.

Shoulder to Shoulder is an organization created by UK to help serve underprivileged communities around the world. The university currently supports a year-round health clinic is Ecuador where locals can receive care free of cost. Funds raised through the auction will keep the clinic open to the public by providing a way for them to cover medical supplies, upkeep of the facility and other essential expenses.

The auction will feature original works of art, with many of the pieces donated by local Kentucky artists.
