HOLIDAY HEROES
Holiday Heroes provides a combination of in-person "parties" and online programs (twitchTV and virtual visits), activity boxes with 3-5 age-appropriate crafts, toys, catered meals, themed gifts, and costumed characters, as well as providing outpatient clinics with our Hero Packs (a smaller grab and go activity bag ). We help brighten the days for pediatric patients and their families!
All of these programs are provided at no cost to the patients and healthcare facilities and are funded entirely by donations, fundraising events, and grants.
why holiday heroes?
Hospitalized children and their families experience a tremendous amount of stress and anxiety when dealing with serious or prolonged illnesses. Hospitals, although healing environments are not designed to provide the kind of interaction that kids require to have a healthy social psyche.
Holiday Heroes provides an escape for pediatric patients, allowing them to just be kids and to focus on healthy social interaction as opposed to their medical condition. Our "parties" create life-long memories that improve the patients' quality of life and improve their likelihood of holistic recovery.
