Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital Volunteer Auxiliary
The mission of the Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital Volunteer Auxiliary is to serve and support Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital and the Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital Foundation through fundraising, volunteer education and engagement, public relations, and volunteer recruitment.
The Volunteer Auxiliary brings passion, skill, and time to its work, taking a leadership role in organizing a variety of successful fundraising and community events, including Designer Bag Bingo, the Holiday Vendor Fair, seasonal raffle baskets, and monthly vendor sales within the hospital. The Auxiliary also supports the Bryn Mart Gift Shop, where proceeds help fund hospital programs and initiatives.

- Contributing to the purchase of physical therapy equipment to enhance patient recovery, including the Lokomat® robotic-assisted walking therapy system and the SMART EquiTest® for balance and mobility rehabilitation
- Purchasing outdoor tables and benches accessible to patients
- Refurbishing the Patient and Family Lounge with new flooring, lighting, paint, furniture, a large-screen TV, games, and workstations
