"My family and I recently spent a week at Valley Children's Healthcare when our son, Jeffrey, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. I am so grateful to have this amazing hospital in our valley that gives such amazing care to it's patients. I love La V and the women that work hard to raise money for Valley Children's Healthcare."

Every year one guild member is selected as our Volunteer of the Year. This recipient generously contributed time and effort helping La Visionaria raise funds towards their endowment.

"Both of my children have been patients at Valley Children's Healthcare and I want to give back to the hospital for taking such amazing care of our children. They saved our daughter's life and we want to raise funds to keep the hospital running and start new programs to help children in the valley."

Our Mission

We are grateful for all of the women in La Visionaria. We asked some of our members for their reason why they joined. We love that everyone has a different reason why, but we all have the same goal and that is to raise funds to benefit the patients at Valley Children's.

"I joined La V to give back to the children of our valley who deserve to be happy and healthy. Thanks to VCH, they are given every opportunity to do just that."

Our mission is to engage in creative and innovate way to raise funds, advocate for children and promote goodwill for Valley Children's Healthcare.

We are a group of women who believe deeply in the power of philanthropy to save children's lives. When you support La Visionaria Guild and our annual event Fall Affair: "Cocktails for a Cause", you are investing to fund life saving technology, advancing clinical services, providing a safety net for children with little or no private medical insurance and creating a healing environment that enriches the experience of the patients and families at Valley Children's.

Join us and help raise much needed funds for the children at Valley Children's Healthcare.

"I joined La V because I wanted a way to give back to the community and what better way than helping little kiddos? I have two kids and I want nothing but the best for them, as every parent would agree, and that's exactly what Valley Children's Healthcare offers to each patient. I also enjoy the opportunity to meet so many driven women who are all working towards the same goals."
