John, Halloween is one of the best days of the year to be a kid: candy, costumes, cheer! (Did we mention candy?)

Some kids have to spend this day at the hospital, but Halloween can still be special for them! I’m writing to ask for your help in time for our Halloween party next week.

Be part of something truly spook-tacular: Send an adorable Halloween card to a child in the hospital and help make the day extra special. An anonymous donor has pledged to donate $1 to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles for every card sent by Oct. 31, up to $50,000!

Last year, we collected cards from thousands of people just like you, and they brought so much joy to the children in our care who couldn't leave the hospital to celebrate Halloween.

Make sure every child gets to experience that same joy again this year. Send your card by Oct. 31 so we can give it to a patient as part of our Halloween festivities. Sending your card will generate a $1 gift to Children's Hospital Los Angeles!

Choose a card now and help every patient have a Happy Halloween!

We're so grateful for everything you do to make Children's Hospital Los Angeles such a special place for kids.

Thank you for your support!!

Sincerely,

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