The Children's Health Guild hosted its annual holiday boutique and luncheon Dec. 1 at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel in San Francisco. Over 380 guests attended the event, themed "The Spirit of Sharing," which raised $200,000, with all proceeds dedicated to UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland and George Mark Children's House. Together these organizations provide the full spectrum of medical care for children, including: emergency care, on-going treatment, transitional and respite care, and palliative care that help children and their families live life to the fullest during a child's final days, regardless of the family's ability to pay.
The Children's Health Guild, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, is dedicated to improving the quality of and access to pediatric medical care in the East Bay. Comprised of approximately 50 talented and passionate Lamorinda women, CHG's members focus on raising funds for these two organizations each year.
