国王队配捐5万美元：洛杉矶儿童医院万圣节贺卡行动10月30日截止
洛杉矶儿童医院（CHLA）一年一度的万圣节贺卡募捐行动已经启动，长期支持者、NHL 洛杉矶国王队承诺：在10月30日之前，公众每寄出一张贺卡，球队就捐出1美元，配捐上限5万美元。
参与方式很简单：登录 CHLA.org/Halloween，从长颈鹿、孔雀、大象三款可涂色动物卡片中任选一张，写下鼓励的话语提交即可。医院儿童生活团队（Child Life）会把卡片打印出来，连同万圣节小礼包一起亲手送到住院小患者手中。医院还将举办一年一度的“南瓜派对”，有游戏、手工和变装活动。
“一年一度的南瓜派对提醒我们，想象力与欢乐在任何地方都能绽放——即使在医院的高墙之内，”儿童医院儿童生活与表达艺术治疗及志愿者资源部主任卡罗尔·哈马莫托（Carol Hamamoto）说，“我们喜欢把万圣节的热闹直接带给小患者和他们的家人，服装、游戏和特别的小礼包，而最让孩子们开心的，是收到来自世界各地饱含心意的万圣节卡片。看到社区团结起来支持我们的家庭，带来的是安慰、希望和联结。”
贺卡通道10月30日关闭，有意参与的读者可尽早寄卡，让每一张卡片都变成实实在在的1美元捐款。（来源：Business Wire 新闻稿）
LA Kings to Match Donations Up to $50,000 for Children's Hospital Los Angeles Halloween Card Drive
Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) has kicked off its beloved annual Halloween greeting card drive, and longtime supporter the NHL's LA Kings have pledged to donate $1 for every card sent by October 30, up to $50,000.
Taking part is simple: visit CHLA.org/Halloween, choose from three ready-to-color animal designs — a giraffe, a peacock, or an elephant — and write a personal message of encouragement. CHLA's Child Life team will print the cards and hand-deliver them to patients along with fun goodie bags. The hospital will also host its annual Pumpkin Party with games, arts and crafts, and costumes.
"Our annual Pumpkin Party reminds us that imagination and joy can flourish anywhere — even within hospital walls," said Carol Hamamoto, Director of Child Life and Expressive Arts and Therapies, and Volunteer Resources at CHLA. "We love bringing the excitement of Halloween directly to our patients and their families with costumes, games, and special goodie bags. The highlight for so many of our kids is receiving the thoughtful Halloween cards sent from around the world. Seeing the community come together in support of our families brings comfort, hope, and a sense of connection during their hospital stay."
The card portal closes October 30 — every card sent converts directly into a $1 donation. (Source: Business Wire press release)
