At the annual Claremont/West End Auxiliary dinner held at the home of JoAnn Mineer in La Verne, Children’s Fund received a check for an additional $10,000 bringing the annual total raised by the Auxiliary to more than $61,000 for the year.

 

“This is such a dedicated auxiliary who go above and beyond to raise money for the underprivileged children in our local communities,” states Erin Phillips, president and CEO of Children’s Fund.  “We are so thankful for the continuous fundraising efforts of the Claremont/West End Auxiliary.”


Claremont/West End Auxiliary was originally founded in 1958 and supported the Children’s Home Society. Today, Claremont-West End Auxiliary raises funds for Children’s Fund and promotes community awareness with activities like their home tour and membership teas.

 

“With 60+ members, our Auxiliary is continually volunteering and speaking on behalf of Children’s Fund,” says Vicki Radtke, co-president.  “Every dollar we raise will help support the at-risk children in our communities. We know that the need is great, so we work together to raise money so that Children’s Fund can help these children who are our future.”
