New President of St. Luke's Hospital - St. Vincent's Health System

St. Vincent’s Auxiliary Events
Support SVHC
St. Vincent’s Auxiliary has a variety of
events planned for the next few months.
Did you know that when you participate
in one of these fundraisers or
purchase from the Gift Shop, you are
giving back to SVHC?
During this past year:
• The Gift Shop has donated money to
the Foundation that goes towards the
Auxiliary’s $1,000,000 pledge.
• Proceeds from vendor sales, such as
the uniform and gold buy back sales,
contributed more than $12,000 to
their Scholarship Fund; $2,750 to
the Vincentian Fund; and $1,000 to
the Daughters of Charity Retirement
Fund.
• The Auxiliary also sponsors the
Teenage Volunteer program and
contribute to the Good Samaritan
Fund throughout the year.
According to Auxiliary Vice President
Joan L. Shewbrooks, the Auxiliary contributes
more than $40,000 each year to
the Foundation in support of
St. Vincent’s!
Plan now to attend these events and
know that as you benefit, so does SVHC
and those helped through community
outreach.

Assumption
Catholic School
Students Fill
Food Pantry
Sister Patricia was thrilled with the
multiple deliveries of food donated
by Assumption Catholic School students.
Eighth graders Genni Robinson,
Amanda Marr, Maggie Patsy and Sarah
Gates helped coordinate the food drive
by stapling event flyers to 600 grocery
bags donated by Publix. Students who
donated food got to wear jeans and
their favorite team t-shirt on a designated
Friday. A big thank you goes to
all of the students who filled the food
pantry shelves to feed families who turn
to St. Vincent’s for help!
