Mercy Children’s Clinic
Hearts for Mercy Campaign
Throughout the month of February, customers at several area retailers will have the opportunity to support Mercy Children’s Clinic through the purchase of paper hearts. The Hearts for Mercy campaign, sponsored by Southern Exposure Magazine and BancorpSouth, is a new fundraising initiative being launched this week.
The hearts, emblematic of the hundreds of area children served by the Clinic each month, may be purchased for $5 each and will include a space for customers to write their name or the names of their own children. The hearts will be prominently displayed at participating businesses and on the front windows at the Clinic.
Proceeds raised from the campaign will be used to deliver quality healthcare to children that may have otherwise gone without needed care.
“The number of uninsured children in our community is soaring,” said David Winningham, Mercy Children’s Clinic’s executive director. “The Clinic was founded on the belief that all children deserve first-rate medical care regardless of their families income level or socioeconomic status. And with 100 new patients being seen each month, the need is greater than ever.”

- BancorpSouth, 914 Murfreesboro Rd, Franklin
