Hi John,
When I first arrived as a rookie with the LA Kings in 1986, the first public appearance I made was at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. It was important to me to visit the patients who might need a boost in morale and to show the CHLA staff that their work was appreciated by all of those in the Kings community.
Thirty-four years later, as team president of the Kings, I'm proud to look back at the partnership we have built with CHLA. Every single Kings player has taken something positive away from our visits, and every patient we've visited holds a special place in our hearts.
This year, more than ever, we need your help showing CHLA patients that they are in ALL our hearts. Make a tax-deductible $10 donation by the Dec. 31 deadline and it will be DOUBLED by Credit Unions for Kids, up to $675,000.
Our players are fierce competitors on the ice, and we are just as passionate off it about raising awareness for CHLA, whether by supporting the hospital's Blood Donor Center or the Pediatric Neurosurgery Research Lab, and helping the staff take clinical care and new research to even greater heights.
Every hockey player knows what it's like to be under pressure. But every nurse who is caring for a patient, every doctor who is prepping for surgery, every researcher who is racing to find a new treatment or new ways to keep us safe during this time—that's a whole other level of pressure. And with the added stresses and challenges of COVID-19, these essential workers need our support, just like the kids who depend on them.
You don't have to be a professional hockey player to make a real impact. Right now, every gift will be doubled, so every $1 becomes $2.
As someone who scored a lot of goals in his career, I can tell you that two is always better than one. CHLA's partners at Credit Unions for Kids are making it easy for you to make an impact, matching every dollar up to $675,000.
So beat the buzzer and make a tax-deductible $10 gift now.
Sincerely,
 |
Luc Robitaille
President, LA Kings
