The Annual Holiday Bazaar is the primary fundraiser for the Fitzgibbon Hospital Auxiliary Ambassadors, which has contributed more than $650,000 since the organization’s inception to Fitzgibbon Hospital to expand and improve services in the Saline County area. The funds are used to provide continuing scholarships to staff and fund departmental wish list items that may not otherwise be affordable through the normal budget. Membership in the Fitzgibbon Hospital Auxiliary Ambassadors costs just $10 per year. Representatives will be on-hand to sign up new members at the Annual Holiday Bazaar.
