The newly organized Junior Auxiliary was launched during the Spring of 2010. This group of young women affords members an opportunity to support Abington Health through fundraising and public outreach. In addition, Juniors get together for many fun social gatherings throughout the year. With the extremely successful Philly Fest under its belt, the Junior Auxiliary is looking to expand its own signature fundraising activities in support of the Nurses’ Scholarship Fund of the Abington Memorial Hospital Dixon School of Nursing, and hopes to welcome new members each year. The Auxiliary meets one evening each month from September through May, gathering at members’ homes. Please consider joining them at one of their next meetings or events!

In addition to supporting the local community, Painting with a Twist of Jenkintown also offers private parties for corporate outings, bachelorette parties, sorority functions, date nights and special events.
