Overview of the Hinsdale Auxiliary
The Hinsdale Auxiliary was formed in 1955. Their annual fundraiser is held on the day of the Kentucky Derby and is referred to as the Derby Day event. The dynamic members of the Hinsdale Auxiliary have ensured that membership stays strong. Longtime members have successfully passed on leadership to newer generations who continue the same dedication and commitment to Children’s Home + Aid. The support has expanded through the formation of a men’s volunteer group called the Hinsdale Men’s Association. The Hinsdale Auxiliary supports a variety of programs including Early Childhood Care and Education, the Subsequent Teen Pregnancy Prevention program, the Sponsor Parent Board*, Community Schools and the Rice Child + Family Center.
