About Pleasure Guild
Pleasure Guild, an organization of 80 women committed to raising funds for Columbus Childrens Hospital, traces its roots to the hospitals beginnings. In 1890, a group of boys and girls decided to make and sell small crafts to raise money for the purchase of pleasures for the children in the hospital. In 1908, a group of women formalized the childrens fundraising efforts and became Pleasure Guild of Childrens Hospital.
Pleasure Guild has raised over $2.5 million for the children of Columbus Childrens Hospital, and in recent years, Childrens Hospice Program. Members commit to a three-year term and participate in a variety of fundraising and service projects.
