McKenzie Health System Auxiliary Announces Annual “Bakeless Bake Sale” and October Gift Shop Sale
A healthier version of the traditional bake sale, McKenzie Health System Auxiliary is hosting its annual “Bakeless Bake Sale” during the months of September and October with all proceeds going toward the purchase of new IV pumps and poles which are used in several departments 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, during the month of October, holiday sales will be going on in the Gift Shop with visitors enjoying 30 percent off all Halloween and pink gifts (excluding apparel).
Bakeless Bake Sale donations can be dropped off at the Gift Shop, which is open Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m., at the McKenzie Outpatient Desk, or checks can be 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. For more information about volunteering, contact Nina Barnett, MHS Auxiliary Liaison, at 810-648-6127 or nbarnett@mckenziehealth.org.
