Overview
Mission
The sanford bismarck auxiliary was organized to promote and foster goodwill and support for sanford bismarck, to acquaint the public with the purposes and aims of sanford, to engage in fundraising activities, receive bequests and donations, and carry on other such charitable works to promote the objectives of sanford. The auxiliary operates a gift shop and coffee shop to further these efforts.
What it reported doing in 2021
The sanford bismarck auxiliary plans and hosts fundraising events throughout the year to raise funds for areas of need within the health system. The fundraisers include bedding sales, book fairs, and jewelry fairs. Proceeds from the events are donated to areas within sanford whose revenue falls short of what the service costs provide. One example is the infusion center. The auxiliary donates snacks to be enjoyed by infusion patients that spend long hours in the infusion center. The auxiliary donated a self playing piano that was placed in the lobby of the medical center. The auxiliary lines up various musical talents, often giving them an honorarium for their service. Sometimes volunteers close to the organization come to perform as well. Music and familiar songs can be therapeutic to our patients and families. The auxiliary also has donated funds to help cover the costs of the child life program in the hospital and clinic. This program helps children and their families navigate difficult exams or procedures.
