Mission Statement
We are one of the oldest women's organizations in Columbus, originating in the 1890s. Although we have changed in size and function, our primary mission has remained to bring pleasure to the young patients of Nationwide Children's hospital through direct volunteer work and fundraising to support hospital programs.
Description
We are a group of 60 women who are dedicated to fundraising for Nationwide Children's Hospital through a variety of events (Once Upon a Night, SPAGIO's "A Celebration of Wine, Food and Dining with the Stars", and a professional theatre production (you may have seen one of the recent plays we produced at the Palace Theatre - "Sound of Music", "HONK!", or "The Wizard of OZ" - 2007 marked a celebration of 50 years of performances!);
• Focused on volunteering as the only auxilians to have direct patient contact through the circulation of our library cart, and
• Committed to teaching preschoolers about basic safety and injury prevention through our Safety Awareness For Everyone (SAFE) program.
