ROCHELLE – The Rochelle Community Hospital Auxiliary and Culver’s of Rochelle are hosting the third annual share night Wednesday, July 17 from 5 to 8 p.m.
The RCH Auxiliary was founded in 1946 and was dedicated to the service and comfort of patients and the hospital. Every year the hospital gives the auxiliary a wishlist of items it would like to have for the hospital. Members from the auxiliary then meet and determine which items from the list to purchase for the hospital.
“Over the years, the auxiliary has raised many thousands of dollars to purchase furniture for patient rooms and to buy highly technical medical equipment,” explained Diane Kenney, president of the auxiliary.
Not only does the auxiliary help the hospital with purchasing furniture and medical equipment, but it raises money throughout the year, including share night, that will be used toward scholarships. On average, the RCHA gives out five scholarships each year and any student who is pursing an education in the medical field is eligible.
