Dear John,

Some of my favorite memories as a child were walking door to door in my costume trying to collect as much candy as possible from the houses in my neighborhood.

Here at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, our patients can't trick-or-treat—so we need your help to bring the Halloween spirit to them!

Send a spook-tacular Halloween card to a child in the hospital and help make the day extra special—and then spread the word! This year, we're giving away cards that the kids can color in, and Delta Air Lines has pledged to donate $1 for every card sent by Oct. 29, up to $25,000. Send your card today!

I know how much getting these cards matters to the children who can't participate in traditional Halloween activities. Last year, we collected cards from thousands of people just like you, bringing smiles and laughter to each child who received one.

Send your card by Oct. 29 to ensure a patient gets it as part of our Halloween festivities. Choose your card now and help every kid 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
