Catherine McAuley Society
The Catherine McAuley Society – a women’s philanthropic group supporting the efforts of the Friends of Mercy Foundation and Mercy Hospitals.
Members of the 2011/2012 Catherine McAuley Society met in November for a luncheon and tour of the simulation lab at Mercy Hospital. The ladies were able to meet the simulation "baby" mannequin that was part of the infant patient care equipment that was funded with Catherine McAuley Society gifts the previous year.
The Catherine McAuley Society meets three times a year at luncheon events, and as a group, direct society funds to the Mercy Hospital project or outreach service they care about most. Because this is a philanthropic society, each member is asked to contribute $1,000 a year.
The important benefit of belonging to the Catherine McAuley Society is that members decide how their cumulative gift is spent. Please contact Erica Easton at erica.easton@chw.edu or (661) 663-6700 if you are interested in becoming a member of the Catherine McAuley Society.
