We are filled with gratitude for another year of incredible partnerships with homeowners, designers, sponsors, individuals that gave personal talent, time and gift contributions, our volunteers and boutique participants!

We love what we do. And because of the involvement of hundreds of people, it is an honor for Guild I to be a key financial supporter of Children’s Hospital.

What do you think of when you hear 'sponsorship'? Giving money would be a common first thought. Funds that Guild I raises goes directly to supporting Children's Hospital Programs. There's another cool thing about sponsorships .... they encourage our Guild to keep moving forward, to carry on this tradition with its rich history.
We celebrate EVERY sponsor!!
Kathy Anderson, Mary Jo Johnson and Jennifer Motta are our 2024 Sponsorship Chairs and they hit it out of the park! They make calls, leave voicemail after voicemail, send letters, explain why we do what we do, engaging individuals and businesses in the mission to help struggling infants to young adults to feel whole and healthy. Bravo💕
