Children's Hospital Los Angeles Launches Annual Valentine's Day Card Drive on CHLA.org
Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) today launched its annual online Valentine's Day card drive. Community members and supporters are invited to submit one of three coloring cards, customizable with a personalized message, by visiting CHLA.org/Valentine through February 14. An anonymous sponsor has pledged $1 for every card shared, up to $25,000.
"Through this annual card drive, our patients receive cute messages and still have the chance to enjoy Valentine's Day," says Carol Hamamoto, Manager, Child Life and Expressive Arts & Therapies at CHLA. "What's more, it's a fun and easy way for the community to show their love and encouragement, while supporting a good cause."
Card designs include a unicorn jumping over the moon, a koala riding a rocket ship and an alien orbiting Earth in a UFO. Printed cards and messages will be hand delivered along with goody bags by CHLA's Child Life team to patients, in celebration of the special day.
