Below is some information about the family and suggestions for gifts. If you would like to purchase a gift, please stop by the spa or call us. You can choose an ornament from our giving tree to purchase an item for one of our sponsor family members. Please deliver all gifts unwrapped to ClarityMD by December 13. Please include a post-it on each gift with the name of recipient. We're also collecting money to donate a grocery gift card to the family.
