"I joined La V because I wanted a way to give back to the community and what better way than helping little kiddos? I have two kids and I want nothing but the best for them, as every parent would agree, and that's exactly what Valley Children's Healthcare offers to each patient. I also enjoy the opportunity to meet so many driven women who are all working towards the same goals."

Our mission is to engage in creative and innovate way to raise funds, advocate for children and promote goodwill for Valley Children's Healthcare.

We are a group of women who believe deeply in the power of philanthropy to save children's lives. When you support La Visionaria Guild and our annual event Fall Affair: "Cocktails for a Cause", you are investing to fund life saving technology, advancing clinical services, providing a safety net for children with little or no private medical insurance and creating a healing environment that enriches the experience of the patients and families at Valley Children's.

Join us and help raise much needed funds for the children at Valley Children's Healthcare.

We are grateful for all of the women in La Visionaria. We asked some of our members for their reason why they joined. We love that everyone has a different reason why, but we all have the same goal and that is to raise funds to benefit the patients at Valley Children's.
