Auction Success!

The Auxiliary Board's third annual auction celebration netted $80,000. The Auxiliary's hard work really paid off. All proceeds help support the children and this year's donations will fund Camp Horizon scholarships and a wheelchair accessible van.

Create A Lasting Remembrance Today     

Engraved with the name of a loved one, a sentiment or an expression of gratitude, pavers are a perfect way to create a lasting memory. As part of the effort to complete the landscaping of the Home both at the front entrance and along the side, you can support the Home while recognizing someone special. Be one of the first to place a brick as a lasting investment in the Home. One paver costs $150 and each additional paver is $100. For more information or to reserve a brick, please call Martha Price Stewart, 757- 446-6797 or email: mstewart@smhdc.org.

 
 
Inspiring Stories

Virginia Beach Elementary School Gives ‘Pennies’ to Auxiliary

     When Rita Rendon and Bunky Manley, teachers at Linkhorn Park Elementary School in Virginia Beach, helped the Student Council Association hold a fund-raiser they knew exactly what they would like to do with the money. “As soon as I told the kids about St. Mary’s they were really excited about raising money for them,” said Rendon.

      The week-long drive pitted the boys against the girls in a “Penny War.” In total the school raised $650 and presented Kim Thumel, immediate past president of the Auxiliary, with a check. This has meant so much to the kids that they want to make this an annual event, said Rendon.

      While accepting the check, Thumel thanked the students for all of their hard work and said she hoped they would continue to make volunteerism an important part of their lives. The money was raised for a wheelchair accessible sensory table so children at the Home can experience the feel of sand, water and other objects.
