Fontbonne Auxiliary Presents Annual Donation & Welcomes New Board

The Fontbonne Auxiliary of St. John Hospital & Medical Center held their annual meeting on May 13th at The Hill Seafood & Chop House. Each year the Auxiliary presents St. John Hospital & Medical Center with a check reflecting their fund raising efforts throughout the year. St. John Hospital’s President, Dave Brooks accepted a check for $233,344.47 at the Annual Meeting. The donation was a result of proceeds from this year’s “White Christmas Ball”, “Giggles-N-Gals” and Le Fontbonne Gift Shoppe sales.

The money raised this year will purchase an ultrasound machine for the Liggett Breast Center and support the Mary Ann Van Elslander Neonatal Intensive Care & Special Care Unit at St. John Hospital & Medical Center. The Auxiliary also presented a $10,000 check for the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph to Betty Granger, CSJ.

The Board of Directors and Officers for 2015-2017 were also installed at the annual meeting and will attend their first board meeting in September. Welcome new board members!
