**AUGUST 21 EDIT**
Hello! I am leaving the original message below intact, but want to be very up front for folks who might still make a donation. Because of the huge number of pending requests, I can no longer offer chalk drawings as thanks for donations. You will still have my thanks, and of course, you will still make a significant difference for CHOC. Thank you for your understanding!

--

It is once again my privilege to raise funds for the extraordinary CHOC Children's Hospital. The incredible work they do for kids and families cannot be overstated, and you (yes, YOU) can support that work today!

I will once again be running Chalk for CHOC, by thanking folks who donate prior to August 21 with a sidewalk chalk drawing of the character of their choice. This year I want to focus on your favorite video game characters, but any animated character will do :) The timeframe is much shorter this year, so I don't know if I'll be able to keep up with all the drawings, but I promise to try my best. 

With just 2 months to fundraise this year, we need to go fast, so let's smash the fundraising goal as quickly as possible and keep on going!

You can help by:

-Donating now by clicking the "Donate" button above or
-Joining the Mattering Lab team and fundraising yourself!   

Thank you for all you do to make the lives of children better, and for anything you can donate to this amazing organization!

With Respect,
mike
