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 $85,000!

Founded in 1968, the Cromwell Olive Twig began when a small group of women from the Cromwell Hills section of Convent Station came together with a simple but powerful idea: connect with one another while making a meaningful difference in their community supporting Morristown Medical Center. More than five decades later, the spirit is still thriving-and they are inviting new members to be part of it. 

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, Kindness Closet and many more.  The one dearest to their hearts is the Scholarship Fund. They have contributed over $150,000 to various causes at the Medical Center.

​

The Cromwell Olive Twig fund raises by hosting vendor sales in the hospital for the convenience of MMC employees and annual plant sales in their neighborhood.  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.

The Somerset Hills Twig comprises women living in Basking Ridge, Bedminster, Bernardsville, Far Hills, Peapack and the surrounding area. 

​

This Twig, which was formed in 2015 has donated over $25,000 to programs at Morristown Medical Center. Many members of this TWIG play Mah Jongg which inspired the annual sale of The National Mah Jongg League cards as well as their first Halloween-themed Monster Mah Jongg fundraiser. Additionally, this TWIG continues to decorate the hospital for the holidays and supports a Stocking Stuffer event for the families at Goryeb Children's Hospital.
