A healthier version of the traditional bake sale, McKenzie Health System Auxiliary is hosting its annual “Bakeless Bake Sale” with all proceeds going toward the purchase of new equipment to help with patient care at McKenzie Health System. The fundraiser encourages community members to donate the price of a “pie or a cake or just a slice.” In addition, holiday sales are on in the Gift Shop with visitors enjoying 30 percent off of all Halloween and pink gifts (excluding apparel) in October as well as 50 percent off the entire shop (excluding apparel and snacks) in November and December.

Bakeless Bake Sale donations can be dropped off at the Gift Shop, which is open Tuesday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to noon, or made out to McKenzie Health System Auxiliary and mailed to Kelsey Loding, 394 Golf View Drive, Sandusky, MI 48471. Credit card donations can be made by contacting Nina Barnett at 810-648-6127.

“Our annual Bakeless Bake Sale makes it really easy to donate what you would otherwise spend on a plate of brownies to support much-needed new equipment for McKenzie Health System,” said Emma Navarro, McKenzie Auxiliary Co-President. “We truly appreciate donations of any amount as every dollar counts!”

The McKenzie Health System Auxiliary hosts several fundraisers throughout the year with proceeds supporting McKenzie Health System; fundraisers include the annual Golf Scramble in June, the Fall into the Holiday Spirit silent auction and raffle, and special promotions in the Gift Shop, which is open year-round. Payroll deduction is available for McKenzie staff.

Founded in 1967, the MHS Auxiliary is comprised of individuals who volunteer thousands of hours to benefit McKenzie Health System and the community. Members donate their time and talents working in the gift shop, providing support at community events, and coordinating fundraising opportunities.
