The group raises money for special projects and equipment purchases throughout the Hospital with proceeds from the Tea Room, a gift shop and cafe and a portion of the proceeds from the Life Uniform a retail shop for medical uniforms. They coordinate several other projects including: First Foto Service, 24-Hour Fresh Flower Service, the Local Artist Gallery Display and special patient service programs such as knitting caps for newborns, providing turbans to chemotherapy patients and sewing "Buddy Bears" for children receiving care in the Emergency Center.
