John,

At this time of continuing pandemic, economic and environmental crises, much in our world and our communities is in flux. Children's Hospital Los Angeles can't be. Our patients and their families are counting on us more than ever—and we're depending on the generosity of people like you so we can be there when they need us most.

The support of our caring community has helped Children's Hospital Los Angeles provide uninterrupted state-of-the-art treatment and child-centered care throughout the pandemic. But it's been a long road...and it isn't over yet.

That's why I'm pleased to share that our friends at Marriott have generously offered to MATCH all gifts made to the Children's Fund by this Friday, Sept. 30—up to $100,000.

As a nonprofit hospital, we're relying on people like you to help provide life-changing care for children. Can you make a gift of $10 or more today that will be doubled?

John, we need you with us. Please give to the Children's Fund today to have every dollar doubled to help our young patients, up to $100,000 >>

Your support helps Children's Hospital Los Angeles do even more to provide the critical care that our patients rely on. When you give today, these are just some of the needs your gift will help meet:

• 2X the lifesaving medical care for a child in need, like the compassionate care provided by the Center for Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, which treats the most critically ill preemies, newborns and infants in Southern California.
• 2X the support from Child Life specialists, who ease the fears of kids struggling through an uncomfortable medical procedure and brighten the days of patients who are feeling lonely or anxious about being away from home.
• 2X the groundbreaking medical treatments, delivered by over 862 medical staff keeping us safe during the pandemic while also fighting cancer, epilepsy, asthma and other pediatric diseases.

As a nonprofit hospital, Children's Hospital Los Angeles depends on our community to ensure our compassionate care, life-changing cures and groundbreaking research is accessible to every child in our community—in this critical moment and all year-round.

Give to the Children's Fund now to have your gift of $10 or more matched dollar for dollar, up to $100,000.

On behalf of our patients, patient families and staff, thank you for your support and generosity.

Sincerely,

Alexandra Carter, MBA, CFRE Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer Children's Hospital Los Angeles
