This time last year, local businesses pulled together to help some of our area’s most deserving youth, as the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) raised nearly $2 million during its Make March Matter campaign. This year, we’re offering our support to ensure that every child continues to get quality health care.

Proceeds from Make March Matter 2018 go toward CHLA’s Helping Hand Fund, which assists the hospital in keeping its century-old promise to offer compassionate care to any child.

We invite you to do your part, too. Simply visit one of the many businesses offering promotions this month, like PizzaRev, who will donate 20 percent of its sales on Friday, March 30 at certain locations; or Escape to Virtual Reality, who will give 10 percent of its sales throughout the entire month. You can find a full list here.

Or, if it makes sense for your company to become a partner, the CHLA website offers a straightforward signup process.

The new year has been kind to dot818, and it is our pleasure to pay it forward. We hope you will support the cause as well.
