Proceeds from Auxiliary projects such as one-day sales, golf tournament, Lights of Love, Auxiliary membership drive and gift shop sales have been used to purchase equipment such as a sentinel node machine for the early detection of breast cancer and to sponsor a room in the new addition to the Medical Center.  The Auxiliary helps supply the various hospital departments with needed equipment which is not included in the budget. Last year, proceeds were directed to new furniture for the Karsesh Wing visitor’s room, a fountain on the Karesh garden patio, and  new furnishings for the EMT lounge. A portion of the proceeds from this year’s projects will assist in the renovation of the KCMC Oncology Department.

The organization also provides scholarships for area students who are pursuing careers in health-related fields.  Currently, more than twenty students who are enrolled in health-care related studies receive scholarship funds from the Hospital Auxiliary of Kershaw County.
