Letter from Our Chair

Michele Smith, Chair

Dear Friends of Seattle Children’s:

As Children's enters its second century of helping children in our region, it is an honor to lead the Guild Association — the largest all-volunteer fundraising organization for any hospital in the nation.

Collectively our members have raised millions of dollars to support facilities, uncompensated care, research and other programs. I’m constantly amazed by our guilds. A few thoughtful individuals gathered together can provide powerful support to children in our community.

The wonderful thing about the Guild Association is everyone can play a part — whether you are interested in attending one of our events, joining an existing guild or forming a guild with your family, friends, coworkers or neighbors. To learn more about getting involved, visit the Start a Guild and Join a Guild sections of this site.

Together we can extend the time-honored tradition of supporting children and families well into the future.

Sincerely,

Michele Smith, Chair
Seattle Children's Hospital Guild Association Board of Trustees
