Sequim Guild of Clallam County announces its annual garage sale from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Friday-Sunday, July 25-27, at 81 Timothy Lane in Sequim.

Last year the guild raised $6,950 toward uncompensated care for Seattle Children’s Hospital.

Sequim’s guild is a member of Seattle Children’s Guild Association, the largest support group of any hospital in the nation.

The association has been vital to the success of the medical center for over 100 years.

The guild’s second fundraiser starts now and ends Dec. 31. All proceeds from the flavor of Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge by WeDo Fudge will be donated to the Seattle Children’s Hospital. You may purchase the fudge from its drive-thru kitchen on Hooker Road across from the PUD building from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays, from noon-3 p.m. Saturdays or from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at the Sequim Farmers Market on Saturdays.

The Sequim Guild helps Seattle Children’s Hospital in three ways:

• First, by providing financial assistance, the guild provides funds to offset the hospital’s costs for uncompensated care.

• Secondly, by making and buying various items for patients and their families, the guild assists in making the hospital a patient-friendly facility, offering every comfort possible to children and their families.

• Finally, the time spent by members on guild activities helps the hospital as it applies for grants from foundations and governmental entities.
