The Chatham Twig, a branch of the Women’s Association for Morristown Medical Center, was founded in 2010 and has approximately 50 members currently active monthly at Goryeb Children's Hospital. The Twig is involved with a variety of both hands-on projects and fundraising. They plan a number of special events annually for pediatric patients and families, and hold monthly collections for items needed by the Child Life Specialists. The Twig has funded a variety of initiatives including iPads, streaming subscriptions, infant sleeper sacs, high chairs, IV poles, activity tables, infant bouncy seats, snack carts, bereavement gifts and resources, pet and massage therapy programs, supplies for art and music therapy programs, support for the palliative care Liam’s Room, nursing scholarships, and for sending children with cancer to summer camp. These endeavors have totaled over $70,000!

The Cromwell Olive Twig has been in existence since the early 1960’s. During those years they have donated to countless causes at MMC such as furniture for the  palliative care center, Ipads for ICU, Calling All Kids, and many more.  The one dearest to their hearts is the Scholarship Fund.  They have contributed over $50,000 to worthy MMC employees pursuing their education.

The Cromwell Olive Twig fund raises by hosting vendor sales in the hospital for the convenience of MMC employees.  In addition, several of their members are volunteers at the Hospital Gift Shop and the Bargain Box.

The Harding Twig raises funds and organizes service projects in support of the Emergency Department at Goryeb Children’s Hospital of Morristown Medical Center, which treats patients from newborn to age 21 with a patient- and family-centered approach. 

Since our inception in 2009, we have raised well over $50,000 to purchase life-saving equipment and fund vital services that directly benefit critically ill and injured children throughout our communities. 
 

Our members are from Harding Township and surrounding towns and we are always happy for new members to join us.

The Knitting With Love Twig was formed in January of 2012 inspired by the successful KNIT WITH LOVE fundraiser.  The members are a group of women who love to knit and crochet.  They meet monthly to create colorful blankets that are donated to patients in the Goryeb Children’s Hospital.  Knitting With Love Twig also sponsors other events, proceeds from which support the Child Life Program at the Goryeb Hospital and the Calling All Kids Program.
