Children’s Hospital Foundation

Children’s Hospital Foundation is supported by several women’s auxiliary boards, including the Junior Board which is composed of 50 members dedicated to furthering the Foundation’s mission.

The Junior Board of the original Crippled Children’s Hospital was first organized in May 1933, with a membership of twenty-five. At that time, the primary functions of the Board were to assist in feeding the children and to entertain them. In 1935 they took charge of craft classes and organized a Girl Scout Troup for patients. To raise funds, the Board organized a variety of events and campaigns—their first was a dog show, and future years brought Christmas card sales, fashion shows and many other activities.

The Annual Ball

In 1966, the Junior Board launched its signature fundraising event—the annual Ball, held each November.

The Ball’s carefully chosen theme is portrayed through eye-catching and creative decorations which adorn the public rooms of The Country Club of Virginia. Junior Board members spend tireless hours fabricating, creating, painting, and finally nailing the finishing touches to decorations, which delight and often surprise the Ball patrons.

As with all Junior Board endeavors, the goal is to maximize the benefits to the children served by the hospital. Since 2000, the Junior Board has raised over $2.5 million to benefit Children’s Hospital Foundation. Recent gifts include:
