Our Mission

“To promote and expand Cape Cod Hospital facilities and services to the highest quality through volunteerism and philanthropy”
Our current $1M pledge is for The Family Birthplace at Cape Cod Hospital.

The Cape Cod Hospital Auxiliary

Our not-for-profit volunteer organization is dedicated to supporting Cape Cod Hospital by raising funds to fulfill specific pledges that help fund new or improved facilities or programs at Cape Cod Hospital.

Since 1942 we have had a history of successful fundraising. $10.6 million has been raised for hospital services & programs such as; behavioral health, emergency care, the Cuda Women’s Health Center, cardiac care and the new Barbey Pavilion Davenport-Mugar Cancer Center.

The Auxiliary is governed by a Board of Directors made up of the chairs of our Thrift Shop and two branches: Chatham/Harwich and Orleans.

The Impact of the Comfort Pillows

Thank you so much for the comfort pillow I received after abdominal surgery at cape cod hospital recently. It means so much knowing that others care when we are in need.
~Carmela A. (Patient from Eastham)

I just wanted to reach out and express my thanks for the wonderful comfort pillow your group generously made and donated to Cape Cod Hospital. I love it! It came in so handy the week I spent in CCH after my surgery and especially when I finally came home. Thank you all for sharing your love and kindness with others.
~Sandra K. (CCH Patient)

(After a December 2023 surgery at Cape Cod Hospital), “when I was about to be discharged, I got a pillow to help me recover. What a pleasant surprise! I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all your love. Many blessings over your lives.”
~ Rafaela F. (Patient from Hyannis)

We Make Pillows

Every month, 45 hand-sewn, hand-stuffed pillows are lovingly assembled by our members, with a note of care and delivered to CCH patients.

We Fundraise

Our members gather with friends (new and old) to play games of their choosing, we host a Comedy Night, we sell raffle ticket and we hold a Fashion Show.

Talk about fun-draising!

We Golf

We host a golf tournament, bringing recreation, competitive spirit and fundraising for a good cause to life. Local vendors sponsor each hole and great raffle prizes make this a “can’t miss” event!

We Build Community

Like it or not, accidents happen. We know that when they do, we will receive top-notch care at Cape Cod Hospital. Our members each have their own CCH story; this is why we all volunteer!
