Welcome
to Merry Mixers!
Last
Spring, our 61st Anniversary Gala was a big success!! Raising
$43,500, the Merry Mixers were proud to present a check to
the hospital - money the hospital desperately needed to brighten
the lives of both the patients and their families!
We would
like to extend our deepest thanks to our corporate sponsors:
Natixis Global Asset Management and BNY
Mellon, for their
generous contributions. A big thank you as well to Haley's
Wines and Spirits of Marblehead for helping us welcome each
guest with a free drink - perfect way to begin the evening!
And of course, our continued gratitude to the local community
for their constant enthusiasm and support!
We kicked off our
62nd year with another successful 50/50 raffle in December
2011, raising $20,000! We are now busy planning our 62nd
Annual May Gala, fast approaching on May 19th at the Corinthian
Yacht Club in Marblehead, MA. If you would like to give
a donation to the Merry Mixers or would like to attend our
2012 May Event, please click here. We would love to hear
from you! Thank you all for keeping this wonderful legacy
alive!
MassGeneral for Children
at North Shore Medical Center is a special
place. For those of us on the North Shore, many of our
children have been born there, been patched up there
or even spent a few nights there during their childhoods.
We are very fortunate to have a world-class facility
right in our backyards.
Sixty two years ago, a group of local
women started the Merry Mixers, Friends of the North Shore Children’s
Hospital, a non-profit organization designed with one sole purpose:
to support and raise funds for this hospital that has cared for
our kids for the past 100 years. While the faces have changed over
time, our goal remains steadfast. Funds raised by the Merry Mixers
goes directly to patient care services and the purchasing of critical
medical equipment, enabling the Doctors and Nurses to provide first-class
care to all patients.
We
hope that you can help: In May, 2012, Merry Mixers will host our
annual fundraising event. Our evening
will include a raffle, as well as silent and live auction to raise
funds for the Hospital.
Additionally, this year we are putting together our sixth
edition “Bear Pages” for
the event and are inviting businesses to support the hospital
through advertisements. This program for the evening will
include a business directory of the many local and national
firms that support MassGeneral for Children
at North Shore Medical Center. This directory will
serve as a useful guide and referral for our supporters long
after our event is over. We know from experience that the
several hundred attendees who support the hospital through
this event are anxious to patronize other MassGeneral for Children
at North Shore Medical Center supporters.
The Merry
Mixers wish to remember Anne Poor, our founding member,
who brought this organization to life over 60 years ago.
Anne recently passed away after a long and wonderful life
at 91. If you wish to make a donation in Anne's memory,
please make a note of that on your check so we can make
sure to let Anne's family know. All donations can be mailed
to the Merry Mixers, P.O. Box 1282, Marblehead, MA 01945.
