Pinckney bar holding daylong fundraiser today for clinic destroyed in fire

The Pinckney Pub & Grill is hosting a daylong fundraiser Sunday to raise money to help a local health care clinic that serves the uninsured reopen after a devastating fire.

The Faith Medical Clinic was destroyed in a fire Feb. 18. The clinic housed a program, run by about 30 students from the University of Michigan Medical School, that served uninsured residents. It was funded by the U-M Medical School Dean's office and Michigan Central Student Government.

Clinic founders Laura Goldman and her husband, Dr. Mitchell Goldman, aim to raise $40,000 to obtain a one-year least in nearby Putnam Township.

The Pinckney Pub & Grill will host a 50/50 raffle, silent auction, donation jars and live music all day. The bar is open until 2 a.m.

The business is located at 10292 Dexter-Pinckney Road.
