Friendship and support

Our guilds and support groups have been unable to host their regular programming due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We, however, remain appreciative of their ongoing partnership and philanthropic support to date.

Flintridge La Cañada Guild has been help-

ing Huntington Hospital meet a variety of needs for more than 60 years. The guild supports our work through a popular four-day horse show, which features exciting riding competitions, along with food, music and fun for the whole family.

Over the years, funds raised from the event have benefited important services throughout the hospital. In total, the guild’s support of our work has surpassed $2.5 million. A portion of the proceeds from the 2019 horse show helped support the work of a new registered nurse navigator in Huntington Cancer Center. Funds were also allocated toward our new Helen and Will Webster Heart & Vascular Center and K-9 security.

Every Wednesday, members of the guild can be found volunteering in our S. Robert and Denise Zeilstra Gift Shop.

The Flintridge La Cañada Guild looks forward to hosting its 100th annual horse show in 2022. Email flintridgehorseshow@gmail.com for more information about the guild. Altadena Guild was founded in 1951 in order to extend the work of the Women’s Auxiliary of Huntington Hospital, which had been formed 25 years earlier. The guild organizes and hosts a number of fundraising events every year.

One of the Altadena Guild’s most popular events is its annual home tour. While the event was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19, the group has continued to solicit donations from patrons. These gifts are allocated toward the hospital’s new Helen and Will Webster Heart & Vascular Center, our Constance G. Zahorik Appearance Center and the Altadena Guild Community Service Scholarship. A portion of funds raised also benefits Huntington Medical Research Institutes.

Guild members volunteer at Huntington Collection and our S. Robert and Denise Zeilstra Gift Shop, as well as at other locations on our campus.

Huntington Charity League (HCL) is a

group of local volunteers dedicated to raising funds in support of the best of care for Huntington Hospital’s youngest patients.

On February 22, 2020, HCL held its annual patron cocktail reception at The Valley Hunt Club. More than 100 guests attended the festive event, which included hors d’oeuvres, drinks, music, prizes and more. Proceeds from the 2020 patron cocktail reception supported our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), where ill and premature babies receive the highest level of care available in the San Gabriel Valley.

A portion of funds raised also benefited our Parent Connection program, and helped provide advanced nursing education, via support of The Helen Hancock Advanced Nursing Degree Scholarship program.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, HCL has continued to raise funds for our NICU by soliciting donations from its members and holding restaurant fundraising events. To learn more about HCL membership and future events, please contact huntingtoncharityleague@gmail.com.

Many thanks to these enthusiastic groups for their friendship and support!
