Guilds & Event Committee Volunteers

Guilds and Event Committees are groups of volunteers who come together to support the Hutchinson Center by raising funds for cancer research or by providing services for patients and their family members. A guild or event committee can enlist the volunteer help of hundreds, dozens or as few as 10 people.

Guilds or event committees can revolve around particular interests, neighborhoods, communities, or seasons. As goodwill ambassadors from the Hutchinson Center to the community, guild members and event committee volunteers organize events to raise funds for research and provide services for center patients and their families. Guild members and event committee volunteers are busy both behind the scenes and on the front line. The Hutchinson Center's active guilds and event committees are located throughout the Puget Sound area and typically meet monthly to plan and implement activities.

Special Events Volunteers

Numerous Fred Hutchinson Center Cancer Research Center special events are held throughout the year to raise funds to benefit the Hutchinson Center's extensive cancer research programs. Though many of these events are supported by a guild or event committee, often the volunteer need greatly surpasses the number of members in the guild or committee planning the event. In such instances, special events volunteers serve on an "event-by-event" basis. Volunteers can serve in leadership and support roles supporting events ranging from auctions and golf tournaments, to walks, runs, climbs, and luncheons.
