A Message From Kathy Ambrose, Auxiliary President

Kathy Ambrose

Dear Auxiliary Members and Friends,

And, just like that it’s September! 

Over the summer, plans have been discussed and finalized for many programs and events to benefit our work to support the Valley Health System. Our Branch Chairs have organized their calendars, and the Executive Board has been discussing and working on plans for programs and events to be held throughout the year. We kicked off this fiscal year with the Employee Branch’s highly popular VHA Sporting Clays Classic. This is just the beginning - we look forward to joining in the many fundraisers set throughout the year that enable the Auxiliary to make positive changes in so many lives. 

In 2025, the Auxiliary pledged to raise $1.6 million to support and enhance patient care and comfort in the treatment of cancer, pregnancy-induced hypertension and the Butterflies Program for critically ill children. We are well on our way to reaching that goal and we hope we can count on your continued help and support.

Please take time to mark your calendars - I hope to see many of you at the events that have been scheduled for the Fall. We have something for everyone!
