The Baltimore-based Kappa Guild Inc. recently celebrated its 52nd annual donor event by distributing checks totaling $22,700 to various pediatric and neonatal intensive care units of hospitals and camps and agencies for children with illnesses and disabilities.
Among the recipients were Mount Washington Pediatric Hospital, the Kennedy Krieger Institute, the Rose of Sharon Equestrian School and the Center for Hope.
For more than seven decades, Kappa Guild has brought together women to improve the quality of care for critically ill children and children with special needs. From its inception, the guild’s purpose was “helping children in need,” a phrase that became its mission statement.
The guild was founded in 1953 by 10 altruistically minded Jewish women in Northwest Baltimore. Among the 25 organizations that benefit from the guild’s efforts are the University of Maryland Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Sinai Hospital’s Herman and Walter Samuelson Children’s Hospital, and Mercy Medical Center.
