Spirit Halloween has presented a cheque for $122,854, bringing its total contribution from its Spirit of Children campaign to $1,033,981.
Jeremy Simpson, Spirit Halloween zone manager, commented: “Spirit of Children is the heart of Spirit Halloween, and it is our pleasure to partner with the Child Life team at Penn State Health Children’s Hospital. We couldn’t be happier to break the $1 million mark in total contributions during the 2023 Halloween season. And we are looking forward to reaching our next milestone with Penn State Health Children’s Hospital.”
The charitable foundation, whose reach extends to almost 160 hospitals in the US, also hosts the annual Children’s Hospital Spirit of Children Halloween party, where young patients and their families enjoy a Halloween celebration, pick out costumes, play games and make crafts.
Katie Anderson, director of Children’s Miracle Network, added: “The Spirit of Children Halloween party brings a smile to those facing medical hardships, offering a much-needed sense of joy and normalcy. As a proud sponsor of Child Life at Penn State Health Children’s Hospital, Children’s Miracle Network has witnessed the many ways the program helps to heal.”
