Winter Networking
and Community Outreach

Join us for an inspiring networking event to support hospitalized kids!

While we catch up with one another, let’s bring some cheer to children who are being treated in hospitals by creating uplifting cards for them.

During the networking event, we will provide craft supplies to make Easter/Happy Spring and General cards. You do not have to be an artist – stickers, markers, and guidelines will be provided. The finished cards will be sent to CFHK be distributed to Children's Hospitals and Ronald McDonald Houses (RMH) across the country in all 50 states.

Food and beverages will be graciously hosted by Sylvia Iraheta at O’Melveny & Myers LLP.

COST: None

All ALA Silicon Valley Chapter members, prospective members, and business partners at the TB, GB, MB,KB levels (only) are invited to this event.

Cards for Hospitalized Kids (CFHK) is a charitable organization that spreads hope, joy & magic to hospitalized kids across America through uplifting, handmade cards.  Doctors provide the medicine and CFHK aims to provide hope, joy & magic through cards. CFHK was founded in 2011 by high school student named Jen Rubino whose own experiences as a "hospitalized kid", undergoing 20+ surgeries, inspired her to start CFHK to help others.

CFHK distributes general cards monthly as well as holiday cards for major holidays. Each card is unique, just like the child who receives it. Over 500,000 cards have been distributed since CFHK’s inception.

While a card may seem simple, it is truly impactful for the hospitalized kids who receive them. Hospitalized kids often feel lonely, isolated, afraid, etc., and often miss out on the normal joys of childhood taken for granted. Receiving a card helps brighten their day and shows them someone is thinking of them. The cards are particularly impactful for kids, battling chronic or serious health issues, who receive cards from CFHK regularly.
