Events and Projects
The Women's Auxiliary is a group of philanthropic leaders who carry out their mission by raising funds to support high-needs areas of the hospital through a variety of annual fundraising projects and signature events.

A Season of Giving
On behalf of the Women’s Auxiliary and Children’s Health℠, thank you for your support! Due to the incredible generosity of the community, this year’s scheduled appointments with NorthPark Santa sold out in record time. However, walk-up appointments are encouraged and welcome and will be accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis. We look forward to seeing you this holiday season. If you have any questions, please reach out to

BOO Yard Sign Challenge
The BOO Yard Sign Challenge takes simple neighborhood trickery to a community fundraiser to make life better for children. Throughout the month of October, "BOO" your friends and neighbors by secretly leaving the sign in their yards and Halloween treats at their doorsteps. The goal is to have a yard sign on every lawn in your neighborhood!
For every sign purchased, all proceeds will benefit the patients and families served by Children's Health, and every patient will receive a special Halloween treat. If you have any questions, please email us at
boo.dallas@childrensauxiliary.org.

Each spring, the Women's Auxiliary teams up with schools in the community to coordinate a fundraising campaign, benefiting the Pet Therapy program at Children's Medical Center Dallas. Students are provided official Change for Children boxes and encouraged to come up with creative ways to collect change from family, friends and neighbors.
