SEAHAWKS TICKET SALES

Going on now!
Richard Reese, our most longstanding and committed volunteer organized yet another successful ticket sale program this year. For over 13 years Richard has been coordinating SCH's ticket sale program along with local sports organizations and their generous fan base. Thanks to the support of the Seahawks management, SCH is able to receive donated tickets from season ticket holders to home games and resell those tickets at face value to support our programs and services. If you're looking for tickets to the next big game, call Richard at our Seahawks hot line: 206-298-9634. You can also email us at pjohnson@seattlechildrenshome.org.

 

For information about the 2008 KOG Luncheon, please contact Carma McKay, Director of Development and Marketing, by phone or email at 206-298-9650 or cmckay@seattlechildrenshome.org.
 

Throughout the year, generous supporters help us fund our mission-based work with children through events that they host. If you are interested in hosting a party, or opening up your business to an event to benefit Seattle Children's Home, please contact Carma McKay at 206-298-9650 or by email at cmckay@seattlechildrenhome.org. Events over the years to honor friends, sell products, or simply get friends together for a great cause have generated hundreds of thousands of dollars for SCH.

• Guilds
  The Dorothy Dixon Allen and Kerry Oliver Guilds are an active group of enthusiastic, hardworking and committed volunteers dedicated to the advancement and growth of Seattle Children's Home. There are more than 75 members who take pride in pursuing the mission of the Home by conducting fundraising and friend-raising projects throughout the year.
  
  
  • Kerry Oliver Guild (KOG)
    
    History: Kerry Oliver was a dedicated housewife, a mother of several young children, and a friend of Seattle Children's Home. She was one of the first members of an auxiliary which began in 1982. After Kerry Oliver's untimely death in 1983, the members received their charter and named the guild in her honor.
    
    Activities: Over the years, the Kerry Oliver Guild has organized a number of different events, the proceeds of which went directly to Seattle Children's Home. These events included selling tickets for ACT Theatres, hosting holiday parties and dances, and working in conjunction with Children's Hospital.
    
    Every year in March, the Kerry Oliver Guild organizes a luncheon benefiting Seattle Children's Home. Invited guests gather in support of the Home and its mission to help children and their families. The KOG is looking forward to this year's event which will be held on March 15th at the Washington Athletic Club. This year the ladies are hosting a fashion show and luncheon that is sure to be a fun-filled event!
    
    Despite the thousands of dollars this gathering raises each year, the annual KOG luncheon is much more than just a fund raising event. The luncheon is part of the Kerry Oliver Guild's broader mission of community outreach and awareness. Guild members are constantly working on behalf of SCH, attempting to raise awareness of the Home's innovation and expertise as it relates to children's mental health issues.
    
    
  • Dorothy Dixon Allen Guild (DDA)
    
    History: Dorothy Dixon Allen was born in Missoula, Montana on July 4, 1903. She graduated from the University of Montana and married W.M. Allen in 1927. After moving to Seattle, Mrs. Allen served on the Board of Seattle Children's Home in the late 30's and early 40's. She was a dedicated volunteer, and particularly enjoyed reading to children in the Home's library. After her death in 1943, the guild was named in her honor. She was the mother of two daughters who are now members of the Allen Guild.
    
    Activities: The DDA Guild completed a major landscape renewal project of our Queen Anne campus. It was the first such site renovation since the late 1980's. It was the Guild's wish to create a warm, safe, and welcoming environment to support the work Seattle Children's Home does with troubled children. We have the Guild to thank for the many beautiful trees, plants and flowers that bloom and inspire every year throughout our campus.
    
    In addition to the support Dorothy Dixon Allen guild members provide through in-kind donations through out the year, it has become an annual tradition to gather for a potluck dinner in support of the Home. Year after year, this event continues to raise thousands of dollars, and helps to fund programs for the children and families served by Seattle Children's Home.
