Whoa, the effort to save the Lyon-Martin Health Services clinic is going gangbusters.

Here's the link to a Facebook page devoted to the cause.

Seemingly overnight, community members have cooked up a number of fundraisers, starting tonight (Wed./26), to scrape together enough dough to keep the clinic up and running. Lyon-Martin has been providing free and low-cost health care to low-income and uninsured people for more than three decades. It's a particularly important resource for the LGBT community, with specific emphasis on queer and transgender health care.

The voice mail for Lyon-Martin Board President Lauren Winter is full at the moment, but here's a note from the clinic's website: "Lyon-Martin needs to raise at least $250,000 to reduce immediate debts and be able to continue providing invaluable healthcare to its patients. Should that happen, Lyon- Martin may be able to reorganize rather than close." 

San Francisco is rallying for the cause, and there's still a chance that Lyon-Martin can be saved.

Below are some events we found on Facebook. And remember, you can always donate online.
