Franciscan St. Anthony Health Auxiliary Raises Funds to Assist Hospital Operations

Auxiliary-75000-DonationFranciscan St. Anthony Health-Crown Point Auxiliary members do more than volunteer time – they raise and save money to benefit the hospital and the community. During a recent annual business luncheon, members presented Kevin DeBraal (center), hospital assistant vice president of administrative affairs; a $75,000 check to be used to enhance hospital operations.

Since the hospital opened in 1974, the auxiliary has raised more than $2 million through various fund-raisers conducted throughout the year and through the Auxiliary Boutique (hospital gift shop), which it also runs.

Presenting the check to DeBraal are Joel Hamers, auxiliary treasurer; and Carolyn Meinbresse, president. For more information or to join the auxiliary, call (219) 757-6347.
