John,

When a child faces a complex illness or injury, Children's Hospital Los Angeles is the best possible place for them to be. Our doctors, nurses and staff provide state-of-the-art treatment—and we always put each individual child and family at the center of our work.

At this time of economic and environmental crises, much in our world and our communities is uncertain. But Children's Hospital Los Angeles and our commitment to our patients endures. The kids and families we serve are counting on us more than ever—and we depend on the commitment of people like you so we can be there when they need us most.

That's why I'm pleased to share that a generous donor has offered to MATCH all gifts made to the Children's Fund by this Saturday, Sept. 30—up to $100,000. That means your donation today can have twice the impact for sick and injured children.

As a nonprofit hospital, we're relying on people like you to help provide life-changing care for children. Can you make a gift of $10 or more today that will be doubled?

John, we need you with us. Please give to the Children's Fund today to have every dollar doubled to help our young patients, up to $100,000. >>

When you give today, these are just some of the needs your donation will help meet:

• 2X the lifesaving medical care for a child in need, especially in complex cases. Our teams work together across dozens of specialties, ranging from pediatric cardiology to neonatal care to neurology, to give every child the best care possible, no matter how complicated their condition.
• 2X the support from Child Life specialists, who ease the fears of kids struggling through an uncomfortable medical procedure and brighten the days of patients who are feeling lonely or anxious about being away from home.
• 2X the groundbreaking medical treatments, delivered by hundreds of medical staff researching cancer, epilepsy, asthma and other pediatric diseases.

Compassionate care, life-changing cures and groundbreaking research must remain accessible to every child in our community—in this critical moment and year-round.

Give to the Children's Fund now to have your gift of $10 or more matched dollar for dollar, up to $100,000.

On behalf of our patients, patient families and staff, thank you for your support and generosity. Together, we create hope and build healthier futures.

Sincerely,

Alexandra Carter, MBA, CFRE Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer Children's Hospital Los Angeles
