luncheon on Monday, Sept. 27. Quicken Loans has been a long-time supporter of the Pontiac, Michigan clinic that provides free medical, dental and pharmaceutical services to low-income, uninsured, and underinsured Oakland County residents.

The luncheon is being held to recognize women of Michigan who have excelled in their profession, found a way to help others, and have become a beacon of hope for younger generations, as well as to raise money for the clinic. The room will be full of respected women from across the state, including Diana Lewis from Channel 7 who will emcee the event, along with other outstanding women including Wayne County Prosecutor, Kym Worthy, CEO of Henry Ford Health System, Nancy Schlichting and Danialle Karmanos, founder of “Work It Out” (DKWIO).

“The Gary Burnstein Community Health Clinic is hoping that this event will bring a heightened awareness for the need of comprehensive healthcare in our community, while acknowledging the achievements and determination of our women community leaders,” said Brian Harris, executive director of the Burnstein Clinic.

The self-funded, self-directed clinic reopened in 2005 after a fire and has grown significantly over the past two years. The clinic is close to reaching the maximum number of patients it can help, which is great that it is filling its mission, but more patients create a need for increased funding. The clinic relies on grants, fundraising events and donations to provide assistance, and it hopes that the Esteemed Women of Michigan luncheon will help them reach its $300,000 annual budget goal. Funds that are collected stay directly with the clinic, assuring that all donor dollars are used to provide patients with health care assistance they desperately need.

Everyone is invited to attend the event, tickets are available online at www.garyburnsteinclinic.org for $75 a person or you can sponsor a table. Aside from a catered lunch courtesy of the Royal Park Hotel in Rochester, Michigan, and the opportunity to meet notable women from the area, guests will be supporting a great cause.

“From our very first tour of the facility, we have been supporters of the work the Gary Burnstein Clinic provides to the community,” said Wendy Kemp, Director of Community Relations at Quicken Loans. “We love their passion and dedication in helping others.”
