Dear John,

Some of my favorite memories as a child were walking door to door in my costume on Halloween, trying to collect as much candy as possible from the houses in my neighborhood.

Sadly, kids who are spending Halloween in the hospital don't get to experience that tradition. That's why Children's Hospital Los Angeles is on a mission to bring the Halloween spirit to our young patients!

Be part of something truly spook-tacular! Send a card to a child in the hospital and help make their day extra special. Plus, a generous donor will donate $1 for every card sent, up to a total of $50,000.

Your simple act of sending a card can make a world of difference. Last year, thousands of kindhearted people like you joined us in this initiative, bringing smiles and laughter to every child who received a card. Click here to choose your card now!

But the magic doesn't stop there. On Oct. 31, we're hosting a "Pumpkin Party" at the hospital, where cards from supporters like you will be handed out to our patients. Imagine the smile on the children's faces as they receive your thoughtful cards and colorful creations!

Please don't wait—send your card by the Oct. 30 deadline to ensure it's part of our Halloween festivities. Let's work together to give every kid at Children's Hospital Los Angeles a Happy Halloween!

We're so grateful for your support—you help make Children's Hospital Los Angeles a truly special place for kids.

Thank you for your kindness!

Sincerely,

Carol K. Hamamoto, MS, CCLS Manager, Child Life and Expressive Arts & Therapies Children's Hospital Los Angeles
