For 50 years, the Carle Foundation Hospital Auxiliary has been serving our community through their services to Carle Foundation Hospital.  Over the years, these women and men have raised more than $2 million for hospital equipment purchases, the Guest House, and multiple patient services.  And they have generously given of their time, volunteering more than 2 million hours.  All of the money raised and their volunteerism are focused on improving our patients' hospital experience.

Come join us as the Auxiliary kicks off their 50th anniversary with a mayoral proclamation, the unfurling of an anniversary banner, and the dedication of a tree in memory of a supportive neighbor.

The celebration will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m.  We suggest that you parallel park in the Guest House parking lot along the curb that surrounds the Guest House or any available space.   Please be sure your vehicle is marked.  Enter off Church Street.
