Beebe Medical Center Auxiliary runs the gift shop at the hospital and the Treasure Chest Thrift Shop in the Midway Shopping Center.
So far in 2010, volunteers have given a total of more than 52,400 hours. While the majority of volunteers are adults, an active student program includes 43 high school and college students who give their time. For more information about the volunteer program, contact Lee Halloran at 302-645-3531. |
“I am very excited about working with the departments and learning their needs,” said Halloran. “I’m also looking forward to getting to know our volunteers and to expand our student program.”
Halloran replaces Becky McCarty, who retired after working for Beebe for 36 years. McCarty served as manager of Volunteer Services for the past 15 years and helped developed a group of more than 500 members, which includes active volunteers, auxiliary members and students who volunteer throughout the Beebe Medical Center organization.
Halloran joins Beebe Medical Center from the Beebe Medical Foundation, Beebe’s fundraising arm, where she last served as event coordinator, working with foundation staff and volunteers on the annual Best of the Beach Art Auction, the annual Beebe Ball and the three golf tournaments: the annual Jean & Joan Fund Golf Classic, the Progress for Prostate Charity Golf Tournament and the Classic at Baywood Greens. She most recently coordinated the Treat the Beat 5K Walk, the foundation’s new event to support Beebe Medical Center’s cardiovascular program and to encourage healthy lifestyles.
Halloran joined the foundation in 2006 as an executive assistant after working 16 years in the legal and information-technology sectors in the New York and Washington, D.C. areas. She also spent several years as a volunteer coordinator and organizer of the Scottish Highland Games and Celtic Festival.
