Children's Hospital's Founding Mothers


The Guilds of Children's Hospital have a rich history here in Central California - In 1949 a group of five civic-minded women saw a need for a dedicated pediatric hospital in Central California.  As these five women moved forward with their vision of creating a children’s hospital, so emerged the idea of a “guild” system.  They believed that the communities the hospital would serve should financially support the hospital.

The primary objective of the “guilds” would be to help raise financial support and develop ongoing community support.
 
Over the last 60 years the Guilds having raised over $20 million since 1949.  It was through the fundraising efforts of the original Guild that Valley Children’s Hospital was constructed in
Fresno
on donated land.

A
ll proceeds raised through the Guilds fundraisers and activities are used to support much needed equipment, projects, and endowments, helping make Children’s Hospital a center for excellence in children’s health care.
Fundraising Pledge - $5 million towards The Guilds Child Abuse Prevention & Treatment Endowment
 
More than 3 million American children are reported as abused or neglected every year.  
On any given day, three to five percent of Children’s inpatient population are here because of abuse or neglect.

La Visionaria Guild and the Guilds of Children's Hospital have pledged together to raise $5 million towards The Guilds Child Abuse Prevention & Treatment Endowment.  This endowment will support the
Child Advocacy Center
at Children’s Hospital, the SCAN (Suspected Child Abuse and Neglect) Team and community outreach and education. 
 
We invite you to support the La Visionaria Guild of Children's Hospital, as we work toward giving a voice to the young victims of abuse who are not able to tell their own stories.
