Last year, more than 600 people attended and $23,000 was raised for Alton Memorial Hospital. The Auxiliary supports various hospital projects, including education, hospital equipment, help for people who can’t afford their prescriptions, gifts for newborns and their parents such as hand-knitted baby hats, a baby spoon and a gift certificate for Imo’s Pizza. This year a portion of the proceeds will be used to purchase a hydraulic stretcher for the Emergency Department which will allow them to lift larger patients into the ambulances without additional help.
