Did you see the buzz on Facebook this week? We have a FUN opportunity to rally our city for good and surprise 2,000 families at CHOA with a random act of kindness that will point them to hope! You can find more details here.
Here's the jist:
Have you ever had the person ahead of you in a drive-thru pay for your order? It’s one of the best feelings! And such a great example that a small act of kindness goes a long way in spreading cheer and hope.
We invite you to join us in bringing hope to families at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta by making a tax-deductible donation to pay for their parking for a day. Imagine this: a parent or visitor pulls up to the garage attendants, hands them their ticket, and instead of a dollar amount flashing on the sign, they hear these words. “Your parking was paid for by helloHOPE!”
How free parking spreads hope
As a family walks through the tests, treatments, fears, and burdens associated with a diagnosis, you can help them remember that they are not alone and that provision can come from the most unexpected places. The small gesture of paying for parking might be just the pick-me-up that someone needs to hold onto hope for the day.
Our goal for free parking day
We’ve set our goal at $6,000 for this campaign, which will enable us to pay for the parking for every car that goes through the Egleston and Scottish Rite campus decks on June 28, 2017.
What happens if we exceed our goal? We’ll be expanding the program to cover future free parking days, maybe in a city near you!
Will you join us? Give today. Let’s spread hope!
