Proceeds were raised between January and May by the efforts of the auxiliary members through the Hospital Gift Shop, Thrift Shop, membership dues, and other events. Freed accepted the check on behalf of Nyack Hospital and thanked the auxiliary members for their hard work and dedication.

Auxiliary President Brigitte Simon also recognized and thanked the more than 60 volunteer auxiliary members who attended the tea, especially those from The Gift Shop, the Thrift Shop and the Production Committee.
