Dear John,
Today is the first-ever #GivingTuesdayNow, a day when people around the world are uniting to meet the unprecedented need caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As we face this global threat, we have the opportunity today to stand together in generosity and compassion for those in need.
On #GivingTuesdayNow—and every day—we stop at nothing at Children's Hospital Los Angeles to help families in need. It was true before, and it's true now as we work to protect vulnerable patients from COVID-19. On this special day of generosity and kindness, I hope the families depending on us can also count on you.
Today, your generosity goes even further for the children we serve. Give $10 or more to our COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund by midnight and your gift will be TRIPLE-MATCHED up to $25,000, thanks to a generous match contribution from Kinecta Federal Credit Union.
When you give, a child at CHLA will also receive a copy of the book "Careless Corny: A Cautionary Tale," a playful story written by a Child Life specialist, a certified art therapist and the head of the Literally Healing Program at CHLA to help kids understand and cope with the coronavirus pandemic.
John, CHLA can be there for the kids in our community because people like you are there for us. On this day of giving back, I hope you'll give a gift from the heart to help our neighbors during this time of unprecedented need.
Your generosity enables us to provide world-class care to countless children, conduct groundbreaking research that saves lives, and take every precaution to protect patients, families and caregivers from COVID-19.
And your #GivingTuesdayNow gift can do so much more to help when you make your gift of $10 or more to the COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund before midnight:
As a nonprofit hospital, community support has always been critical to the work we do. Now, as we all work together as a community to protect ourselves and each other, your support is more important than ever. For the next 16 hours, your generosity can do THREE times as much to support the compassionate, child-friendly care, innovative research and exceptional training our hospital performs every day.
Stand with us this #GivingTuesdayNow. The deadline is MIDNIGHT TONIGHT and the clock is ticking. Please, send your best gift now.
Sincerely,
 |

Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer
