The Auxiliary was established in 1951 as the "Pink Ladies" of the Fort Pierce Memorial Hospital and was changed to the Lawnwood Regional Medical Center Auxiliary when the hospital opened in 1978. Annually, the Lawnwood Gift Shop proceeds are donated to various nonprofit organizations and schools in St. Lucie County. In March, proceeds totalling $20,500 were donated to WPSL Christmas Kids, Lawnwood Auxiliary Scholarship Fund, Pregnancy Care Center, Police Athletic League, Mustard Seed Ministries of Fort Pierce, Indian River State College Scholarship Foundation, Council on Aging of St. Lucie County and Hospice of the Treasure Coast. Since 1951, the Lawnwood Auxiliary has donated 1,560,861.5 hours to Lawnwood and the community.
