Our Annual Gift Auction was a tremendous success! Over one hundred gifts were won, many door prizes and the 50/50. Many thanks to everyone who volunteered on the day of the auction, donated gifts, and came out to support the event. We would like to recognize the ladies who helped us the day of the auction who are not members. Thank you!!!!
On August 12, Holly Twig will host our Third Annual High Tea at the beautiful Mathis House, located at 600 Main Street. Seating begins at 11:00 a.m. This elegant five-course experience will include soup, salad, scones, tea sandwiches, dessert, and, of course, plenty of tea. Seating is limited, so watch for upcoming flyers and plan to purchase your tickets early—whether for yourself or a table of friends. It promises to be a memorable and delicious afternoon. Tickets are $50, and there will also be a 50/50 raffle and door prizes.

Holly Twig welcomes like-minded women with energy, creativity, and a passion for fundraising to support our hospital. Members are encouraged to participate in our events, share new ideas, and take active roles in our organization. The group meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 9:30 a.m. at Clubhouse 2 in Holiday City Berkeley. Meetings begin with coffee and conversation, often followed by an engaging program before our business session.

All proceeds from our events are donated to the hospital to help fulfill “wish list” items requested by various departments—needs that fall outside the regular operating budget. Each department may submit requests for items up to $5,000. Your continued support and generosity make it possible for these important wishes to be granted.

One of our ongoing fundraising efforts is our partnership with Second Time Around, located at 200 Corporate Circle, Toms River, NJ 08755, creating a true win-win opportunity. We gladly accept new or gently used items, which are consigned under Holly Twig’s account. It’s a wonderful shop filled with hidden treasures—you never know what you might find!

We also continue to collect donations of new, soft yarn. Our talented members use these materials year-round to create baby hats for newborns, as well as chemo hats, shawls, and lap blankets and shawls for patients in the oncology department.
