September 12, 2021 – It’s a beautiful Sunday and the Jilly’s championship golf team is tearing up the links at Shale Creek Golf Club in support of Akron Children’s Hospital. #FriendsofAkronChildrensHospitalCharityGolf
Established in 1955, The Friends of Akron Children’s Hospital is an auxiliary organization that encourages women to become involved in the community and volunteer their time to Akron Children’s. The organization has donated more than $3.5 million to Akron Children’s Hospital.
The purpose of the Friends is to advance the welfare of Akron Children’s through service to the hospital. The Friends are involved in a number of fundraising projects to support the hospital and our patient families. Many of the Friends volunteer in the hospital as well as participate in the annual Holiday Tree Festival.
The Friends hold four general meetings a year: a spring and fall luncheon, a December Holiday event to which each member brings a gift for a patient in the hospital, and a luncheon in February.
