What is Legacy of Love?
Legacy of Love is an annual fundraiser hosted by the Women's Auxiliary to Children's Medical Center Plano. For the last 13 years, the Women's Auxiliary has hosted various fundraising events under the Legacy of Love event title, including a fashion show, luncheon and more! All funds raised at the event will go to the Women's Auxiliary to Children's Medical Center Plano, which has raised more than $2 million for Children's Medical Center Plano over the last 15 years.
Making Life Better for Children's Through Legacy of Love
This is a powerful time of expansion for Children’s Medical Center Plano. What was already the region’s first full-service pediatric hospital north of Dallas has, with the December tower expansion, doubled in size and tripled in bed capacity. The eight-story, 395,000-square-foot campus expansion rivals pediatric hospitals across our region and neighboring states in size, leading-edge technology and clinical capabilities.
Members of the Women’s Auxiliary to Children’s Medical Center Plano are dedicated ambassadors, volunteers, and fundraisers for Children's Health. Our steadfast support and commitment provide uplifting activities for patients, their families, and appreciation for their dedicated hospital staff. This support is accomplished through community fundraisers such as Legacy of Love.

The Women's Auxiliary to Children's Medical Center
The Women’s Auxiliary to Children’s Medical Center was formed in 1962 by combining the auxiliaries from Bradford Memorial Hospital for Babies, Children’s Hospital of Texas and Richmond Freeman Memorial Clinic. In the very early days, Auxiliary volunteers assisted hospital staff in all aspects of running the hospital, from helping with admitting patients and running samples to the lab, to assisting physicians.
As Children’s Medical Center grew, so did the unwavering support of the Women’s Auxiliary. Today, two strong Auxiliary chapters support Children's Health℠ mission to make life better for children at the Dallas and Plano campuses. To continue its tradition and rich history of service, the Auxiliary carries out this mission by raising funds for hospital priorities, offering uplifting activities for patient families, providing support and recognition to hospital staff, and raising awareness of Children's Health in the community.
The Women's Auxiliary celebrates over 60 years of service and over 1,000 members dedicated to serving the patients and families treated at Children's. Since its inception, the Auxiliary has contributed nearly $30 million to Children’s Health.
