Our Guild Association is the largest volunteer association of any hospital in the nation. Guilds raise millions of dollars for Seattle Children’s each year.
The small circle of friends that helped found Children’s in 1907 has grown to include hundreds of groups of like-minded, compassionate individuals.

Butterfly Guild (2010)
The Butterfly Guild was formed to fund research that will ultimately lead to healthier, happier and longer lives for children diagnosed with Shwachman-Diamond syndrome. Shwachman-Diamond syndrome is a genetic bone marrow failure disease that can lead to an increased risk of leukemia. Children with this syndrome are often pancreatic insufficient, requiring pancreatic enzyme supplements to process food. In addition, children are often neutropenic, which means not enough white blood cells are present to fight infection. Bacterial infections in children with Shwachman-Diamond syndrome can quickly become life-threatening if not treated properly. One or more types of blood cells can be affected.
Seattle Children's Hospital is one of very few hospitals in the nation equipped to address and treat Shwachman-Diamond syndrome. The Butterfly Guild is committed to making a difference in the lives of children with this rare and complex disease.
