In 1949 five
women who were compassionate toward this region's ill and injured
children wanted to provide a hospital that could treat their specific
needs, regardless of a family's ability to pay! The remarkable success
of their quest built Children's Hospital of Central California and
established a guild system to raise community awareness and financial
support for the hospital. Today there are 15 guilds and more than
1,200 members. The La Sierra Guild formed in 1999 has members
from the towns of Ahwahnee, Bass Lake, Coarsegold, Mariposa, North
Fork, Oakhurst, and Raymond.
Please help us celebrate our 10th year in operation as a non-profit organization. The donation tab takes visitors to a secure server. 100% of your tax deductible donation to La Sierra Guild is given to Children's Hospital. Our membership includes both men and women, and has experienced a new growth and vitality in 2009; we have welcomed 8 new members. All members recognize how fortunate this region is to have a Children's Hospital that provides such extraordinary care for our young population.
