St. Lucy's Auxiliary is a volunteer organization founded in 1957, to benefit the Greater Pittsburgh Guild for the Blind. Funds to support services to those who are visually impaired are raised through memorial cards and fund raising events throughout the year, the highlight of which is the annual Medallion Ball sponsored by St. Lucy's Auxiliary. The Ball recognizes young women who have dedicated a required number of hours to volunteer service within the community. The Auxiliary's vision is to instill the importance of service-to-others in such young women and to recognize them for their efforts.

Today, Saint Lucy's Auxiliary continues to support the visually impaired through Blind and Vision Rehabilitation Services of Pittsburgh, the agency born of the merger of the Greater Pittsburgh Guild for the Blind and the Pittsburgh Blind Association. The mission of this new agency is "to reduce the limitations that may result from loss of vision."

Your membership and participation will help St. Lucy's to continue support of this worthy mission.
