March, that growing-brighter, gentle-of-warmth, spring-sweet month, coincides with the time when many people vow to venture out a bit more, perhaps making a long-overdue dinner date or plans to shop with a friend.<\/p>\n

That it is on the lengthier side, following that quickly-wrapped month of February, is another notable quality: March is rather marvelous in so many ways.<\/p>\n

This marvelous fact makes it an ideal time for a community-minded campaign, one that will raise funds for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.<\/a><\/p>\n

That support will shine throughout the month at a bevy of local businesses, with customers of these location purchasing meals, dining on specific dates, or attending special classes, all to give back to CHLA.<\/p>\n

Events, too, will play a part in the Make March Matter<\/a> campaign, which is marking its 11th year.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\"<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\tCHLACHLA<\/p>\n

Some of the participants in 2026 include Handel’s Ice Cream in Burbank and Los Feliz \u2014 order the Fish Bait Sundae and know that 20% of sales will be donated to CHLA \u2014 and Tiki Kai in Hermosa Beach; order a Baked Alaska dessert to aid the effort (a portion of sales will be donated to CHLA).<\/p>\n

An array of heartwarming happenings, including select Eataly cooking classes, a Veronica Beard shopping event, and the Trojan Dance Marathon are also playing roles in the 2026 give-back goodness.<\/p>\n

Participants can be found on the Make March Matter site, as well as any specific dates and details<\/a> you need to know.<\/p>\n

Wherever you shop, eat, visit, or go during the month, know that “(f)unds raised will benefit the patients and families CHLA serves.”<\/p>\n

Donating directly to Make March Matter is absolutely possible, too; discover how to help on this site.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"March, that growing-brighter, gentle-of-warmth, spring-sweet month, coincides with the time when many people vow to venture out a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":197262,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[2305,179,1339,1281,48,52,51,47,50,49],"class_list":{"0":"post-197261","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-children","9":"tag-community","10":"tag-food-drink","11":"tag-hospitals","12":"tag-la","13":"tag-la-headlines","14":"tag-la-news","15":"tag-los-angeles","16":"tag-los-angeles-headlines","17":"tag-los-angeles-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197261","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=197261"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197261\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/197262"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=197261"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=197261"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=197261"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
