Our annual fundraising gala for Mass-Care and the Universal Health Care Education Fund is coming up on April 4, from 2 to 5PM at the Ryles Jazz Club in Cambridge! President Obama and Congress have promised national health reform this year, and with all eyes on Massachusetts our voice is more important than ever.

Mass-Care and UHCEF recently helped to organize a Congressional Briefing in Washington, DC about whether the Massachusetts health reform is an adequate model for the nation. We helped to organize petitions signed by around 500 physicians and over 40 labor leaders explaining to Congress that fundamental reform is needed. With each month we are building the grassroots movement in the state, and trying to have an impact on national health reform.

We need your help to do this! This is an extremely difficult year for non-profits to survive. Mass-Care does not accept money from the health care industry, and we rely almost exclusively on support from individuals and member organizations. Please support Mass-Care’s efforts by placing an ad in our annual event program booklet, by listing your name as a supporter, or by purchasing your tickets now. Download the ad form below, and write your check out to Mass-Care to support our political work, or make a tax-deductible contribution to the Universal Health Care Education Fund to support our educational work.

Thank you so much for your continuing support. We hope to see you on April 4th at the Ryles Jazz Club for inspiration and fun!
