Annual Event Joins Community and Hospital in Common Cause
Monday, October 22nd, 2012
Canonsburg, Pa, October 22, 2012 – Preparations for the Holiday Basket Raffle, hosted by the Women’s Auxiliary at Canonsburg General Hospital, are in full swing. This much-loved, highly anticipated annual event has helped the Auxiliary donate more than $3 million to the hospital.
Community support for this ticket/chance auction is enthusiastic and far-reaching. Donors include: Sarris Candies, the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dave & Busters, Carnegie Science Center, Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh Opera, Andy Warhol Museum, Phipps Conservatory, The Union Grill, Levin Furniture, and the Observer-Reporter, just to name a few.
The Holiday Basket Raffle will be displayed in the main lobby of the hospital from Friday, November 23 through Tuesday, December 4, 2012. Drawing over 1000 people a day to view the baskets, last year this event raised over $18,000. Proceeds were donated to Canonsburg General Hospital for the purchase of a digital mammography unit.
The winners will be drawn at 2:00 pm on Tuesday, December 4, 2012.
