$26,500 to hospital from the auxiliary
At a recent holiday luncheon, North Arundel Hospital's Auxiliary presented the hospital with a check for $26,500.
The money consists of proceeds from numerous fund-raising events, including book sales, a fashion show and bazaars, along with gift shop and thrift shop sales.
Members of the auxiliary have raised more than $60,000 of a $100,000 pledge toward the purchase of five cardiac monitors for the emergency department.
* The hospital was also recently presented with a $3,700 check from the members of the B&A; Trail 10K Committee.
The money, from proceeds from the 10K race held in June, will go to purchase pulse oximeters that will monitor oxygen rates in pediatric asthmatic patients.
