Spirit Halloween Donates $141k Check To Providence Children’s Hospital Child Life Program
Apr 3, 2024Spirit Halloween made their annual visit to Providence Children’s Hospital to present a check for $141,000 to benefit the Child Life program. Since 2009, Spirit Halloween has donated over $1 million dollars to the Child Life program at Providence Children’s Hospital.
Over the last 15 years, Spirit Halloween through the Spirit of Children program has been raising funds for the Providence Children’s Hospital Child Life program in an effort to provide funding for art, music, therapy programs and activities that aim to make hospital stays more entertaining and fun for children and their families. The funds generated from 2023 sales make hospital stays easier for young patients and their families through non-medical treatment and healing play and 100% of local donations stay within the El Paso community.
Annually, Spirit Halloween hosts a Halloween celebration at Providence Children’s Hospital, bringing costumes, games, activities and fun for all patients experiencing a stay and who might otherwise miss out on the Halloween celebration.
“We are so incredibly grateful to Spirit Halloween and their entire team for their support and generosity year after year,” said Rob J. Anderson, Chief Executive Officer for The Hospitals of Providence Memorial Campus and Providence Children’s Hospital. “We see firsthand the impact these funds help make in the lives of our patients and their families and it truly brings so much happiness – we appreciate their partnership and the difference they make in our hospital and our community.”
