Ways to Get Involved
- Join an existing unit. With units spanning San Diego County, there is sure to be one right for you. Contact us at 858-966-8366 or auxiliaryoffice@rchsd.org to learn more.
- Start a new unit. The Auxiliary’s Board of Directors and staff can help you get your own unit off the ground. Contact us at 858-966-8366 or auxiliaryoffice@rchsd.org to get started.
- Become a Miracle Maker. Miracle Makers are individuals, clubs, businesses or groups of friends who hold fundraising events for Rady Children’s, raising at least $500 annually. This is a great way for teens to get involved too! The Auxiliary Board of Directors and Auxiliary Staff will provide mentorship and tools needed to start a Miracle Maker project. Learn more here.

Programs include: Brown Bag donations, Emergency Department Clothes Closet, Bernardy Center birthday parties or child sponsorship, Alexa’s PLAYC Adopt-a-Classroom, and Chadwick Center donations.
