Dear Supreme Master Ching Hai:

The children and staff at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital join me in thanking you for your generous donation of $150,000.

St. Jude Children's Hospital is our nation's first childhood cancer hospital, and one of the world's premier centers for the research and treatment of catastrophic diseases, primarily pediatric cancers. The institution's mission is to save children's lives by finding the causes of these illnesses, improving treatment and developing cures.

Children from across the country are redressed to St. Jude for care beyond the means or expertise of local medical facilities. Physicians and health workers from all parts of the country and world continue to receive breakthrough medical information at no charge from St. Jude to become better able to assist families in their own home communities. This helps make medical assistance available to many more boys and girls than one facility could ever treat.

Again, thank you for your donation and for your support of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. It's caring people like you who make a difference in children's lives today and in the future.

Sincerely,
Shoshana Grammer
Regional Director

Dear Supreme Master Ching Hai,

On behalf of Starlight Children's Foundation we would like to thank you for your generous gift of $100,000.00 to our foundation. "One World of Peace through Music" was a wonderful evening, one that all of us can be very proud of.

As your are aware, Starlight Children's Foundation brightens the lives of thousands of seriously ill children each year. With program raging from wish granting to providing hospital grants we are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of children. The illnesses that challenge these children range from cancer, cystic fibrosis and leukemia to cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and AIDS. Their ages range from 4 or 18 years old.

Starlight does more than just grant wishes, we also provide hospital grants and diversionary entertainment services. These in-hospital programs include our mobile entertainment centers for children to use in isolation, while they are bed-bound and Starlight rooms as well as monthly entertainers and holiday parties.

Thank you again for your incredible gift. It is because of the help of people like you that we are able to continue to bright the lives of seriously ill children each and every day.

Warmest regards,

Marc Cohen President David George Executive Director Laurie L. Goldman Director of Development
