Terp Thon’s Pen Pal Program is an opportunity for students and other members of UMD’s community to write letters to patients at Children’s National Hospital! We encourage everyone who wants to, to write a letter, but first to read some guidelines:

  • Use a greeting to start the letter (just Hi, Hello, etc.)

  • Please don’t ask questions 

  • Tell the patient about yourself - age, grade in school, connection to Terp Thon/Children’s National Hospital

  • Keep the tone of your letter positive and uplifting! (You are doing great, you’re a star, etc.)

Thank you for your interest and for writing a letter to a patient in the hospital! You are truly making a difference in the lives of patients! 
 

Thanks for submitting!
