Rewarding activities

Today, our auxiliaries are comprised of hundreds of men and women who continue to provide both financial and volunteer support to our hospitals. Auxilians can become involved in a number of ways through --

  • Working on fundraising events
  • Serving as a volunteer
  • Helping out in the gift shops
  • Staffing Red Cross bloodmobiles
  • Attending luncheons and trips
  • Getting involved with healthcare advocacy
  • Participating in community outreach
  • And, much, much more!
