CANTON, Ohio (April 6, 2026) – The 2026 Angel Auction, “A Western Adventure: Big Skies, Boots & Bling,” will be held Friday, May 8, at the Canton Memorial Civic Center. Presented by The Women’s Board of Aultman Hospital, this signature fundraising event will bring a lively Western-inspired evening to life with entertainment, gourmet dining and silent and live auctions.

Proceeds from the 2026 Angel Auction will support a $1.5 million pledge to transform the Aultman Massillon campus. Planned enhancements include an upgraded laboratory, modernized patient care areas and a therapy center featuring a state-of-the-art aquatic therapy pool. These improvements will expand access to care, elevate patient comfort and provide advanced rehabilitation options closer to home for the community.

Stacy Dulik and Patty Paschke are serving as co-chairs of the 2026 Angel Auction. Inspired by their shared love of traveling to the western United States, the pair plans to bring the theme “Big Skies, Boots & Bling” to life for the Canton community.

Dulik says her commitment to community service began at age 25 when she joined the Doctors Hospital Service League, later serving as president and chairing numerous fundraisers benefiting local organizations. Inspired by her mentor, Darlene Violet, she continued her leadership through roles with the Stark County Medical Society Auxiliary and has been involved with the JRC for nearly 18 years. She is a current member and past president of the Women’s Board of Aultman Hospital.

A lifelong Stark County resident, Dulik was born and raised in Canal Fulton and says she has long believed in building meaningful, lifelong connections through service. She enjoys skiing, hiking and traveling with her family. She and her husband, Jeff, have been married nearly 30 years and are parents of two adult children.

Paschke says her dedication to community service is reflected in her longstanding involvement with local organizations and events. She has been connected to Aultman through both professional and volunteer roles since 1995 and has supported numerous initiatives, including serving as co-chair of the 2022 Aultman Angels on the Runway Fashion Show. She currently serves as president of the National First Ladies Library & Museum Auxiliary Board, helping advance its mission and community outreach efforts.

In addition to her volunteer leadership, Paschke recently launched her own indoor pickleball club, creating a space for community connection, wellness and recreation. A lifelong Stark County resident, she has raised her family locally with her husband, Mike, and says she remains deeply committed to giving back to the community she has always called home.

As part of the fundraising festivities, the silent auction will open online at 8 a.m. on Monday, April 27, offering a variety of exclusive items and experiences. Supporters will have the opportunity to bid on packages showcasing the generosity of the local community.
