Welcome to The Auxiliary of NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) at Evanston and Glenbrook Hospitals. We're a fundraising organization of volunteers providing service and community awareness for NorthShore’s Hospitals and programs. Friends, Fundraising and Community—we invite you to be a part of it!

Since its inception in 1937, The Auxiliary’s donations, in excess of $15,000,000, to NorthShore University HealthSystem have made a difference. The majority of funds are raised through two spectacular events and their related Angel Campaign to raise donations: 

• Hospitals' Gala, benefiting a Guided Patient Support (GPS) program at NorthShore's Kellogg Cancer Center
• American Craft Exposition, benefiting breast and ovarian cancer research

 i

We support the community, offering programs such as Hospitals to Children, an annual Nursing Scholarship, December Infant Gifts, the Kristin Hovda Bereavement Program and more.

And we make new friends—join us for our Holiday Decorating Contest judging, read our Update newsletter and consider becoming a member of a vital community organization.
