The Power of Giving
A Message From Denise Downey, Auxiliary President
Dear Auxiliary Members,
I hope this message finds you all well and safe and that you had a good summer.
Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, our Ways & Means team has been very busy this past summer planning our biggest fundraiser for the year: Very Virtual Valley Fall Fest, which will be held on Saturday, October 24, 2020, from 8-9 p.m. VVV Fall Fest marks the Auxiliary’s first foray into virtual fundraising and replaces our wonderful and widely popular in-person Kitchen Tour, Golf Outing, and Valley Ball. During our last fiscal year, the Golf Outing and the Valley Ball brought in more than $600,000 in total, going a long way to meeting our pledge goal.
I hope that you will all attend VVV Fall Fest not only to support our $3.1 million pledge but to have fun! Admission is free! Fall Fest will be hosted by a delightful and professional emcee and auctioneer, Marissa Walters. The evening will include a welcome from Valley Health System CEO and President, Audrey Meyers, a not-to-be-missed performance by Broadway actor and singer, Mark McVey, celebrity shout-outs, a few surprises, and best of all, a fabulous silent auction. You will also be able to make direct donations for any amount to the Auxiliary during the event.
Register today and please consider becoming a sponsor. Remember that every dollar you contribute goes directly to the Auxiliary’s pledge benefitting the health of children in our community. The Auxiliary may also provide additional financial support to other Valley Hospital Auxiliary and Valley Health System initiatives, including Covid-19 programs.
Thank you for your support!
- Denise Downey, President, The Valley Hospital Auxiliary
