Fired Up for Emma Goldman Clinic

Fired Up Iowa City, inc. is continuing its program on the 3^rd Friday of every month to support the Emma Goldman Clinic.  This month Emma Day at Fired Up is Friday March 16, 2007.  On this day, 10% of proceeds will be donated to Emma Goldman Clinic.  Funds will be targeted to the endowment fund, which ensures the long term financial stability of the Clinic.

Fired Up Iowa City, inc. is a locally owned and operated paint your own pottery business located at 112 S. Linn Street, across from the Iowa City Public Library.  The “Emma Day” has been a regular monthly event since September, 2004.

Fired Up Iowa City, inc., has been a long-term supporter of the Emma Goldman Clinic’s free quarterly newsletter, Emma’s Journal.  “We support the Emma Goldman Clinic because reproductive health care services, including abortion services, is a human rights issue,” stated Nancy Westvig, one of Fired Up’s co-owners.  “We also think it is good for our business to be associated with such a long-term and respected non-profit organization as the Emma Goldman Clinic.”

 “This is a fun way for a business to support the Emma Goldman Clinic,” said Karen Kubby, Executive Director of the Clinic.  “We think it’s a win, win situation for both Fired Up and for the Clinic.  We will encourage our clients and supporters to go to Fired Up on the third Friday of each month as a way of supporting both a local non-profit health care provider and a local business.”

Fired Up Iowa City, inc.’s hours are Tuesday and Thursday from noon to 6pm, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from noon to 8pm.  They are closed on Sunday and Monday.  For more information, call Fired Up Iowa City, inc. at (319) 339-0679.
