Auxiliary Spring 2015

Making young people—including the very youngest—our top priority

April 14, 2015

As our term as Co-Presidents of The Auxiliary draws to a close, we are channeling our energy into two major fundraising initiatives: the Tiny Miracle Fund and the Mindstrong Fitness Event.

Many of The Auxiliary’s past presidents came together earlier this year for a luncheon co-chaired by Marilyn Golfman, Hela Boro and Lucy Wolkove. This was followed by a tour of the new Emergency Department in Pavilion K.

This past July, after receiving his Master’s degree in Communications and Public Relations from Boston University, he visited Dr. Apostolos Papageorgiou (second from right), the JGH Chief of Pediatrics, with his parents, Lloyd and Judi. They thanked Dr. Papageorgiou for Evan’s care by making a donation to The Auxiliary’s Tiny Miracle Fund—co-chaired by Hela Boro, Robyn Brojde, Roz Rinzler and Lucy Wolkove—to help purchase 20 incubators for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. “We’ve been talking for a while about helping the hospital,” said Mr. Goldstein, “and when we heard about the Tiny Miracle Fund, we knew this was the time to do what we could.” During the visit, Mrs. Goldstein also showed Dr. Papageorgiou an album of Evan’s baby pictures, as well as the identification bracelet he wore in the hospital.

Sometimes the biggest miracles come in the tiniest “packages”. That’s what happens whenever a baby is born prematurely and receives extra-special care at the JGH.
