  • The Campaign
  • Impact
  • Community

Change 4 Children’s purchased and delivered a large quantity of N95 masks to support the child life service professionals and other frontline healthcare workers at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital, Keck Medical Center of USC, St. John’s Hospital, Providence Tarzana Medical Center and Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center – Burbank. This was made possible in part by generous donations from the Stromsborg family and the Dorothy W Gach Family Foundation. Read more about this campaign.

This donation was made possible thanks in part to the many schools and students that participated in our Fall School Challenge and via Don McLean’s Basketball Camp.

When we pull together as a community, everyone benefits, especially patients at CHLA.
