Our Annual Events
Sapphires & Sequins
Sapphires & Sequins is the Auxiliary’s signature event. It is a “Girls’ Night Out” encompassing a VIP experience, shopping, live auction, raffles, fashion show, fine food and drinks. Each year, the beneficiaries will be determined by a vote of Auxiliary membership, with input on current needs from the Hunterdon Health Foundation.
*NEW FOR 2025 - Please join us for Splash of Sparkle, an extension of our signature event!
Event information and sponsorship opportunities can be found here.
Lunch & Learn
Each Spring and Fall, the Auxiliary and Foundation invites the community to attend a luncheon with an informative session. This helps to promote a connection between community members and the healthcare system, while presenting the opportunity to become an Auxiliary member.
Lights of Love
This event has been ongoing since 1986, and focuses on the light within each of us by acknowledging the light in others. This year-long event supplies the Auxiliary with funds which are utilized within the healthcare system as the need arises. Each year on the first Wednesday in December, Lights of Love celebrates donations made throughout the year that honor or memorialize people who have touched our lives in a special way. The Auxiliary also recognizes both the Hospital and Community Annual Lights of Love Awards Recipients during the ceremony.
Event, Annual Award Criteria and Nominations, and Donation information can be found here.
Information about A Star Is Born, a Lights of Love program, can be found here.

This year's Bake Sale will be held on Wednesday, December 3, 2025 in Meeting Rooms A/B.
