Welcome to the Women's Auxiliary

About the Women's Auxiliary

The Women's Auxiliary is a non-profit organization established in 1962 by leaders in our community with a mission to render efficient and effective service to all units of Children's Medical Center. Our members have been dedicated ambassadors of Children's for the past 45 years and have supported Children's in its goal to make life better for children.

Our Projects and Events

Raising Funds

The Women's Auxiliary carries out its mission by raising funds to support critical care and other high needs areas of the hospital through several annual fundraising projects and events. Our members are philanthropic leaders who host fundraising events and projects that have become wonderful Dallas traditions. Some of these include Breakfast with Santa, hosted in conjunction with the Capital One Bank Adolphus Children's Parade; The Children's Medical Center Children's Corner Gift shop; greeting and contribution cards featuring art created by patients of Children's; and Family Night at Six Flags.

For an overview of the Women's Auxiliary's accomplishments and commitment to Children's, please view our 2008-2009 Highlights and Facts and our Highlights through the Decades. To date, the Women's Auxiliary has gifted more than $14 million to Children's.

Providing Support

The Women's Auxiliary also carries out its mission by providing support for hospital staff and for families whose children are in the hospital through several projects such as the holiday tradition of Deck the Hospital Halls, providing New Year's Eve and Mother's Day weekend dinners to patients and staff, and providing Staff Appreciation meals and treats throughout the year. Through a new program called Caring Hearts, members who have a child in the hospital are comforted by the support of the Auxiliary.

Raising Awareness

The Women's Auxiliary hosts programs thoughout the year for its members offering education about current pediatric health issues. Membership meetings provide Auxiliary members with news from Children's as well as current information about Auxiliary activities. Over 850 members strong, the Auxiliary membership serves as informed ambassadors in the community representing Children's Medical Center. Many members are encouraged to share their own personal stories and appreciation for the exceptional quality care and service they have received as patient families.
