Halloween season is made less scary and a lot more fun for patients at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital thanks to Spirit Halloween stores and their Spirit of Children program. At their annual party for patients, children were able to select their own costumes, decorate pumpkins, and participate in other fun themed activities and crafts.
Every year, Spirit Halloween stores host a campaign that allows customers to save on their Halloween purchases while donating a percentage of the proceeds to Nicklaus Children’s Hospital. To date, the Spirit of Children program has raised over $575,000 in support of our Child Life department.
