Auxiliary Services
The Auxiliary at Clara Maass Medical Center began 74 years ago as a self-governing
volunteer membership organization whose members work together to assist
Clara Maass in promoting the health and welfare of the community. The
Auxiliary hosts activities throughout the year to raise money for the
hospital and the patients at Clara Maass Medical Center; over the years,
the Auxiliary has raised a total of $1 million. Past fundraisers have
included raffles, jewelry sales, plant sales, baby photos and a fashion
show. Over the years, the Auxiliary has grown to more than 60 dues-paying
members, some of whom have been involved with the hospital for more than
a quarter century.
The Auxiliary meets monthly from September - June, and includes a short
business meeting, an educational presentation and refreshments. It has
its own board made up of people from the community who are dedicated to
the hospital. The board is led by its president, Angela Cuozzo-Zarro.
Every year, the Auxilians determine how best to raise money throughout
the year to help meet the hospital’s needs. It provides scholarships
to local students pursuing health care careers and amenities such as to
our patients.
The Auxiliary raises money at the hospital through:
- Raffles
- Fundraising events and vendor sales
- Community Baby Shower
- Anniversary Celebration
