The CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – SS Volunteer Auxiliary has made a $40,000 sponsorship donation to the 17th Annual Lights of Life Gala. This single gift was so large, that a new sponsorship level had to be created for the Volunteer Auxiliary. Platinum and Prairies seemed like the appropriate name of the sponsorship for this group. They are key to serving patients and their families as part of the front-line response group. The Volunteer Auxiliary also runs the gift shop and manages the soda machines.CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Sulphur Springs will be a Tiaras and Tumbleweeds sponsor for the Hopkins County Health Care Foundation’s 17th Annual Lights of Life Gala. The LOL Gala proceeds will be used to purchase new critical care beds, inpatient therapy equipment, a portable X-Ray machine, all for use at CMF-SS, as well as fund a new impaired driver prevention class offered by the Hopkins County Hospital District’s EMS.Tickets are still available at https://LOLGala2023.givesmart.comPhoto: The CMF-SS Volunteer Auxiliary has made a $40,000, Platinum and Prairies, sponsorship gift to the 17th Annual Lights of Life Gala.
