Occupational Therapy students from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center will host the third annual Rachel Kay Stevens Therapy Center Art Show and Auction on Thursday, July 25, from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Madison Plaza Lobby, 920 Madison Avenue

Themed "The Greatest Art Show," the event, which is free and open to the public, will benefit the Rachel Kay Stevens Therapy Center, a pediatric student-run, pro bono occupational therapy clinic that provides OT services to the uninsured and underinsured.

Attendees will have the opportunity to bid on artwork created by children as well as purchase artwork created by adults. Some of the artwork has been created by children or adults in the community who have received therapy sessions.

Proceeds will benefit the center named in memory of Rachel Kay Stevens, who died shortly after beginning OT school at UTHSC. The center is managed and staffed by OT student volunteers under supervision of faculty.

Community partners include Le Bonheur Children's Hospital, Shelby County Schools, Germantown Schools, Concord Academy, Ronald McDonald House, Southern Reins, Simple Strokes, and JoyLife901.
