Membership Commitment
To support A Precious Child’s mission, we ask that each Women’s Guild member commit to two or more of the following actions each year:
- Attend at least two Women’s Guild Events — These events are typically held monthly and include happy hours, brunches or volunteer activities at A Precious Child. New for 2025: Events will be held in both North Denver and South Denver areas. It’s a wonderful way to connect with fellow members while making an impact.
- Sponsor a child (or more) for Precious Gift — Put a smile on a child’s face during the holiday season by helping them receive a special gift.
- Attend the Gala — Join us for an evening of celebration and fundraising, supporting the programs that help children in our community.
- Host a drive with your network to collect items for A Precious Child — It’s easy and fun to collect items and make a direct impact together!
- Donate to A Precious Child — Support one of our many programs, such as Fill A Backpack, giveSPORTS or Precious Gift. Your contribution goes directly toward meeting specific needs for children and families.
We encourage you to choose as many options that resonate with you.
