Event Guidelines for 11/25/09 all taking place at CITIZEN SMITH

Thank you for participating with us in the Children's Hospital Los Angeles Holidays from the Heart program.  Please remember, people tend to like to shop for the babies but ideally the goal is to have a similar number of gifts for all family members.  Please leave a comment as to which child you will be shopping for, you don't need to state the gift, so we can gauge the needs as the event draws closer.  Below are the main guidelines we are asked to follow:

• No used items 
• No food, please provide grocery store gift certificates instead
• No cash
• Please label the gift with the first name of the recipient 
  

For many families, this will be the only holiday they receive gifts, and for many patients at the hospital this is their last holiday season.  We love and appreciate you choosing to participate and spend this night with us.

With love,

Boombox
