MEMBERSHIP

The Children’s Health Guild is a volunteer organization of 60+ East Bay women dedicated to raising funds and awareness for UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland and George Mark Children’s House. Members commit to a four-year term of Active Membership to maximize their involvement and impact. Membership is a significant time commitment that comes with great responsibility, as members are essential to our fundraising efforts.

Members can engage in various areas, including fundraising, marketing, event planning, finance, corporate development, and social media. Prospective members need sponsorship from a current Active member, and our application period opens each January. If you are interested in joining or rejoining as an Honored Active Associate, please contact us using the form below.

2025-2026 Honored Active Associates

Upon completion of four years of Active Membership in CHG, members then become Associate Members. We are also proud to offer an “Honored Active Associates” (HAA) program for members who would like to continue to stay involved in CHG. Our HAAs reach out and encourage involvement from the broader Associate base, and participate in 1-2 informal fundraisers throughout the year.
