LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – Covenant Children’s is teaming up with Spirit Halloween for the 17th year to help make hospital stays less scary for young patients.
Through the Spirit of Children fundraiser, shoppers can support Covenant Children’s by purchasing costumes with a special coupon at any Lubbock Spirit Halloween store.
This year’s donations will help provide play and therapeutic tools used daily for bedside play sessions, sensory tools, comfort items, music therapy, creative arts experiences, therapeutic playroom visits and more.
“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,” Jessica Marlar, Senior Philanthropy Officer at Covenant Health, said. “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.”
Covenant Children’s has received nearly $375,000 through the partnership. Those funds have helped hire a part-time child life specialist for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, expand the artists in residence program and update and stock Lindsay’s Playroom.
