Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Launches Annual Valentine’s Day Card Drive on CHLA.org
LOS ANGELES (February 1, 2024) – 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.
