It's time to bid for Sidney Borum

My online auction to benefit the Sidney Borum, Jr. Health Center is now open! There are truly spectacular items this month, perfect for holiday gifts. But also please remember that this is a worthy cause. These doctors and nurses walk the streets of Boston at night to help homeless teenagers and young adults get access to medical care. Let's show how much we appreciate them by bidding often and high!

To tempt you, I'll summarize just some of the items included. Some are local to Boston, but many can be used anywhere:

Two tickets to the sold out Boston College-Boston University hockey game at Fenway Park on January 8.

Two tickets to the January 1 Winter Classic hockey game at Fenway park.

A beautiful, handmade child's quilt by Dr. Ramona Bates. (See a closeup here.)
