Broadway Stages proudly spotlights local organizations that seek to promote the inclusion of experiences, talents, and culture in our community, while helping individuals reach their true potential. This includes equity, equality, and inclusion in education, access to healthy food, and healthcare.  This week’s Charity Spotlight focuses on the latter – Elmhurst Hospital Auxiliary. For more than 85 years, the auxiliary has supported services and care at NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst in Queens, which provides healthcare to a diverse community of patients from around the world. 

With a mission focused on raising funds for NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst and supporting its commitment to providing quality healthcare, the auxiliary, a volunteer membership-based organization, provides opportunities for volunteers and donors to participate in this noble mission through fundraising, organizing, and promoting special events such as their annual Gala, and community outreach services.

Consider supporting the auxiliary through a tax-deductible financial gift that will be used “for projects, activities, and equipment that enhance patient care,” such as the Pediatric Services Program, Quality of Life initiatives, special events and outreach opportunities for the community, baby equipment in the Maternal/Child Care Program, and more. You can also support the auxiliary and the hospital by becoming a member or volunteer.
