The Scotland County Hospital Auxiliary recently donated money toward the purchase of new playground equipment at the Tiger Cub Care; the daycare for employee children at Scotland County Hospital.
The Tiger Cub Care (TCC) daycare outside play area received a complete overhaul from the Hospital’s Maintenance Department. Not only was the new equipment installed for the children at the daycare, but approximately $2,000 of rubber tire chips were delivered and installed in the play area as well. Besides the donation from the Auxiliary, a private donation was received and an every other Friday morning breakfast fundraiser of Biscuits & Gravy is held for employees to make a free-will donation and that on-going fundraiser generated nearly $2,000 for the project.
The Auxiliary is a not-for-profit organization that raises money through sales at the Hospital Gift Shop, Antique Days quilt raffle, pecan sales and Christmas Bazaar cookie sales. The Auxiliary meets every third Monday at 1:30 p.m. at the First Baptist Church in Memphis. Membership dues are $1 annually and new members are always welcome.
