Help make hospitals less scary for children!

We know how intimidating a hospital stay can be, so imagine how it might feel for a child. To help children and their families cope during illness or a hospital procedure, Spirit of Children brings the magic of Halloween and more to local hospitals all year long by providing essential funding to support Child Life Departments in over 150 hospitals across the United States and Canada.

Since 2006, it has been Spirit Halloween’s mission through Spirit of Children to use the excitement of Halloween and imagination to bring communities closer and help make a child’s medical journey less scary. With support from passionate guests and help from vendors and licensing partners, Spirit of Children has raised over $127 million and counting to support Child Life Services.

Every penny of each donation made to Spirit of Children goes directly to each store’s local partner hospital’s Child Life Department to support children and their families while they receive care. Partner hospitals use donations to provide critical child life staff, sibling and family support services, sensory equipment, and patient-focused resources, including therapy programming, toys, crafts, art supplies, and so much more. Plus, every Halloween all partner hospitals receive packages filled with costumes, accessories, coloring books, crayons and tote bags to help facilitate festive Halloween celebrations for patients, caregivers, and their families.

When you donate in-store at Spirit Halloween, we encourage you to celebrate the moment by ringing our iconic purple cowbell proudly and loudly at the checkout counter. Share your experience and help us encourage future donations by using #SpiritofChildren and #SpiritHalloween on social media.
