Unsung Heroes: The Auxiliary of Brooks Memorial Hospital
This year, the Auxiliary donated $40,000 raised at the annual Brooks-TLC Golf Tournament and other lobby sale fundraisers, which was used to purchase Workstations-On-Wheels for clinical staff.
Through thick and thin, the ups and downs, in good years and
in bad, the cornerstone of our hospital remains. For over 100 years, The
Auxiliary of Brooks Memorial Hospital has consistently provided much-needed
support in the form of community service and fundraising for the benefit of our
hospital and the community we serve.
The vital, unrestricted dollars raised through generous efforts of our Auxiliary allow Brooks to avail our patients to the latest medical technology and equipment in a comfortable environment. Donations received in years' past have provided for new laboratory equipment; high efficiency LED lighting in our Surgery Department; new furniture, flooring, and updated décor in the ICU/CICU Waiting Room; new health screening equipment used at a variety health fairs and community outreach programs.
Funds donated to the hospital by the Auxiliary are raised at the annual Dinner / Dance / Auction held in June and an Election Day Spaghetti Dinner in November. The Auxiliary also sponsors several fundraisers in our lobby, offering a variety of jewelry, books and toys. The Auxiliary is also an active organization within our community, sponsoring the holiday Tree of Lights, and an annual Back to School Drive to collect school supplies and clothing for children in need.
Without the consistent levels of care, support and energy provided by this group, Brooks would not have the strong foundation we stand on today. New members are always welcome. For information on how to join, contact us using the link at the bottom of this page.
