Franklin Lakes Branch of the Valley Hospital Auxiliary

The Auxiliary Pledge

We are a group of women dedicated to supporting The Valley Hospital and the community at large through fundraising and social activities.  Our current pledge to The Valley Hospital is to raise $3 million to establish the Pediatric Section of the Emergency Department in The Valley Hospital and $100,000 to fund an endowment for Valley Home Care’s Butterflies, an in-home pediatric palliative and hospice care program for seriously ill children. 

We offer our members a variety of activities such as presentations by healthcare professionals and other topics of interest to the community, cultural outings including walking tours, theater trips, and fun, unique and engaging fundraisers.

Join our No-Sew Sewing Circle

Join us as we make no-sew, cuddly, fleece blankets for pediatric in-patients at The Valley Hospital.  Initiated by the Franklin Lakes Branch, the No-Sew Sewing Circle is an ongoing project that is spread throughout the community of Valley Hospital Auxiliary members.  NO sewing skills required— just your time, talent and support. The project is easy and can be completed at a Branch meeting or at home. Approximate cost for each blanket is $10-15 depending on number of yards of fabric and sale price at time of purchase. For more information, contact Barbara Mills at Barbara Mills bjmmem714@gmail.com.
