Auxiliary’s First Crab Feed Fundraiser at the Antioch Veteran Memorial Building

On Saturday, February 16th I attended our Auxiliary’s First (of what we hope to be an annual event) Crab Feed Fundraiser at the Antioch Veteran Memorial Building. We were all excited by the turnout to support the purchase of a new Stereo tactic Breast Biopsy unit. Dr. Mary Cardoza, General Surgeon spoke to the attendees on the importance of Mammography screening. She went on to explain how this new equipment will allow patients in need of a biopsy to undergo a minimally invasive fine needle biopsy. The alternative to this minimally invasive Stereo tactic biopsy is a trip to the operating room. For more information on this new service, please click to play the video below

A big thank you to Charlene Lujan and Erna Yap-Chiongco who chaired the event and together with their committee sold 150 tickets to the event, raising an estimated $ 5,000. Tim Bouslog, Foundation Trustee and Director of Materials Management at SDMC was the MC for the evening. SDMC is very grateful to the Auxiliary for all the wonderful services they provide for visitors, patients and staff, including the gift shop. The junior volunteers assisted with the Crab Feed with the same enthusiasm they serve along side the auxiliary in service to SDMC.


If you are interesting in supporting the auxiliary in raising funds for the Stereo tactic Breast Biopsy equipment or volunteering at SDMC, please call the auxiliary at 925-779-3000
