My parents and me during CHLA's biannual gala in 2022.

Hi John,

When someone says, "Do you want to help a kid smile?" It's a no-brainer.

Seven years ago, I got the chance to visit Children's Hospital Los Angeles for the first time. It was a seemingly simple gesture to give hospitalized teens a special sneak preview of a new movie that was about to hit theaters. But when I saw the appreciation and excitement in their eyes, I realized it was much bigger than that, and that I would do everything I could to support the hospital and all the amazing kids they care for.

John, that's why I'm writing to you today—because even the smallest gesture can have a big impact. There's a triple-match offer from Credit Unions for Kids on the table right now, which means your first $10 donation to Children's Hospital Los Angeles will go THREE TIMES as far, up to $400,000—and it's tax-deductible.

I'm incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to give back, so after that first visit, I jumped right in. My family did, too. We learned how to support the hospital's needs, quietly visited patients, read during storytime and more. Last year, I had the honor of co-hosting CHLA's biannual gala with my dad, Robert Pine, to help raise funds that support the incredible work happening at the hospital. And we still visit, to meet patients and talk about ... whatever they want—sports, dinosaurs, the Milky Way. And those conversations are also an honor.

I have the greatest respect for the nurses, doctors and all the team members who go to work every day at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. And the patients and their families who are going through some of the most difficult times of their lives—these are some of the bravest, most resilient people I've ever met.

It's hard to put into words what it's like to see a child smile and laugh when they're going through health challenges some of us will never face. This is what you can make possible with a $10 donation, and your impact can be tripled. Please join me in supporting CHLA today, while the triple match is in effect.

Your $10 becomes $30

Your $15 becomes $45

Your $20 becomes $60

Your $25 becomes $75

Any amount is TRIPLED

That's three times the life-changing and lifesaving medical care for every kid who comes through those doors. Three times the research to find the next treatment or cure that can give families hope. Three times the compassionate, child-focused care that can put a smile on a child's face.

I really hope you can donate today to take advantage of this opportunity. Thanks for reading.

All the best,

Chris Pine
Actor and Proud Supporter of Children's Hospital Los Angeles
