WMMC Auxiliary Hosts 9th Annual Ice Cream Social August 5th

Warrensburg, MO (June 26, 2018)—As if receiving a tasty treat isn’t reason enough to purchase a ticket to the WMMC Auxiliary’s Ice Cream Social, you can also help support the Auxiliary’s largest fundraiser. On Sunday, Aug. 5 from 2:00-4:00 pm, the WMMC Auxiliary will host its 9^th Annual Ice Cream Social in the WMMC Courtyard Café just inside the Main Entrance. Attendees may enjoy ice cream, a homemade dessert and a beverage for $4 or purchase tickets at the door for $5. This year the proceeds will replace a Hemorrhage Emergency Cart for the Obstetric Department for $2,075.

“This cart contains the important equipment that is needed in a time of maternal hemorrhage crisis that can happen before or after giving birth,” said Darinda Reberry, WMMC President/CEO. “It has helped save many mom’s lives and will continue to be a value to our patients.”

Last year, the WMMC Auxiliary saw near record-breaking numbers at the Ice Cream Social, raising more than $3,000.

For tickets, visit the Wishing Well Gift Shop inside the hospital, or contact Teresa Collins, Volunteer Services Coordinator, at (660) 262-7466 or tacollins@wmmc.com. Attendees may also purchase tickets at the door on Sunday, Aug. 5 for $5.
