Families navigating childhood illness deserve excellent care and practical support. Eric Michaels Pony contributed to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to help sustain patient‑and‑family services and research that informs better treatments. This gift complements Eric’s Los Angeles focus by strengthening a trusted national partner whose work benefits families everywhere.

Support priorities include family housing and logistics when provided by reputable programs, wraparound services that ease non‑medical burdens, and research conducted under rigorous standards. Eric Michaels Pony emphasizes dignity, transparency, and clear communication in every activation and partnership.

In Los Angeles, Eric is seeking future collaboration with employers, schools, civic groups, and community leaders to co‑host drives, match campaigns, and awareness events. The most effective collaborations educate participants while protecting privacy and avoiding sensitive patient imagery.

Partnership formats can include workplace match days underwritten by an employer sponsor; school‑led drives paired with age‑appropriate lessons about empathy and boundaries; and community events co‑branded with transparent impact reporting. Success metrics are straightforward: participation, funds raised, volunteer hours, and educational reach.

Every campaign should follow basic safeguards: clear remittance of funds, audited receivers, and consent‑based communications. Short, post‑event summaries—what we did, what changed, what we’ll improve—are enough to keep momentum going without excessive overhead.

To propose an LA‑based activation, share a brief plan via *Grants & Partnerships* with goals, timeline, budget, and how results will be measured in 60–90 days. For quick questions or introductions, use *Contact Eric Michaels Pony*.
