The organization was founded in 1970 and supports the Greater Tampa Unit of the Cancer Society through service and fundraising, said guild President Trish Fisherman.

Members are from throughout Hillsborough County.

"We would like to be known as ambassadors throughout the community to help provide cancer education," Fisherman said.

Nancy Nethery, area patient service representative from the society, also was in attendance.
