2021 WOMEN’S AUXILIARY
The Women’s Auxiliary to Children’s Medical Center has served as
advocates for Children’s Health℠ for decades.
Members from across North Texas come together to volunteer and raise funds for critical hospital needs that push the mission forward to make life better for children. This year, the Auxiliary celebrates an incredible milestone in their organization — a commitment to service for the last 60 years.
Established in 1962, the Women’s Auxiliary began their rich tradition of service through their fundraising, advocacy and volunteering to provide support to the patients, families and hospital staff at Children’s Medical Center Dallas. In the beginning, the Auxiliary focused their support on lifesaving equipment and crucial programs and services, all the while operating the Women’s Auxiliary Children’s Corner Gift Shop — still a favorite stop for all hospital visitors.
BOO YARD SIGN CHALLENGE
The BOO Yard Sign Challenge was back for another spooktacular year, to raise funds so patients can enjoy a special Halloween treat during their hospital stay. Sponsored by Neighborhood Credit Union, friends and families across the community sold more than 2,330 signs, raising over $69,000 for Children’s Health.
Santa’s Workshop
The Women’s Auxiliary to Children’s Medical Center Plano hosted Santa's Workshop, in the neighborhood of Deerfield, for a spectacular drive-thru experience. Raising over $35,000, the enchanted winter wonderland allowed participants the opportunity to grab kid-friendly craft kits, a delicious takeaway breakfast and a chance to leave holiday wishes in the North Pole mailbox as they waved to Santa.
NORTHPARK VIRTUAL SANTA VISITS
The Women’s Auxiliary to Children’s Medical Center Dallas continued their cherished holiday tradition by partnering with NorthPark Center for A Season of Giving. Over 800 children, of all ages, enjoyed virtual visits with the iconic NorthPark Santa from the comfort of their home and over 850 patients in-hospital had the chance to experience Santa live from the North Pole. Through this magical experience over $100,000 was raised to support critical needs of the hospital.
