Joe DiMaggio Children\u2019s Hospital Foundation, with support from the I Dream I Could Fund, hosted a pumpkin patch celebration for children receiving treatment at the hospital, giving patients and their families a chance to enjoy some fall fun.<\/p>\n

The hospital\u2019s Child Life Zone was transformed into a pumpkin patch complete with pumpkins, hay bales, seasonal crafts and Halloween activities, offering children and families a welcome break from their daily hospital routines.<\/p>\n

Founded by Jessica and Robert Liguori, the I Dream I Could Fund creates special experiences for pediatric patients and their families through a designated fund administered by Joe DiMaggio Children\u2019s Hospital Foundation. Its efforts range from holiday celebrations and in-hospital activities to personalized wishes, including celebrity meet-and-greets, concerts and sporting events.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to give children something to look forward to, especially when they\u2019re going through a difficult time,\u201d said Jessica Liguori, co-founder of I Dream I Could. \u201cWhether it\u2019s a special wish or a simple afternoon of Halloween fun, we want these kids to have a chance to just be kids and make happy memories with their families.\u201d
