Spirit Halloween and Covenant Children’s Partner for Annual Spirit of Children Fundraiser
Spooky season is here, and Covenant Children’s is brewing up a spooktacular partnership with Spirit Halloween for the 17th annual Spirit of Children fundraiser.
This collaboration invites the community to channel their inner superhero by purchasing costumes using a special coupon, with proceeds supporting children experiencing illness and medical challenges. These funds contribute to 10,000+ moments of comfort, play and healing provided each year at Covenant Children’s.
This year, contributions will help provide the countless play and therapeutic tools used daily for bedside play sessions, sensory tools, comfort items, music therapy, creative arts experiences, therapeutic playroom visits and much more for young patients. By nurturing a healing environment, Covenant Children’s aims to positively impact the lives of those in their care.
Shoppers can visit any Spirit Halloween location in Lubbock to support:
- 5025 50th Street
- 2502 50th Street
- 6002 Slide Road
“Through Spirit Halloween’s ongoing support, patients and families across our region have access to resources that bring comfort, healing, and a sense of normalcy during their hospital stay. Whether it’s singing with a music therapist, finding comfort through toys, sensory items, and art, or coping with a new diagnosis alongside a child life specialist, Spirit Halloween helps ensure our teams have the resources they need to care for every child and family. We are grateful to be a recipient of the community’s ongoing generosity as they prepare for Halloween each year,” said Jessica Marlar, Senior Philanthropy Officer at Covenant Health.
As the only faith-based, licensed, freestanding pediatric hospital in the region, Covenant Children’s has been awarded nearly $375,000 from this partnership with Spirit Halloween. These funds have been instrumental in hiring a part-time child life specialist for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, expanding our artists in residence program, and updating and stocking Lindsay’s Playroom.
Covenant Children’s is grateful for Spirit Halloween’s partnership and the continued support from the community.
