The Sequim Guild of Seattle Children’s was recently selected by the Seattle Children’s Guild Association as the recipient of the Chairman’s Award for Guild Excellence.

Chosen from among more than 600 guilds in four states, the Sequim guild has been a steadfast supporter of Seattle Children’s since 1976, raising more than $628,000 for uncompensated care and research at Seattle Children’s through a diverse range of activities including concerts and Bunco parties, yard and garden sales, and yearly Holiday Bazaar, Christmas Cottage and pie sales at the Rotary Salmon Bake.

Always in search of new ideas, when COVID restrictions lead to shut-down of indoor in-person events, the guild sponsored nine virtual silent auctions on Facebook and multiple bake sales at the Pumpkin Patch.

The guild’s newest venture is a weekly garage sale booth at the Pumpkin Patch Flea Market beginning June 4.
