Spirit Halloween brought its Spirit of Children party to patients and families at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Children chose from donated costumes and accessories, then played games, decorated pumpkins, and played Halloween bingo. A parent said the party gives families a place to settle their minds when they cannot be at a bedside during a procedure.
The program is the company's yearly hospital visit, not a one-time drop-off of costumes. WPXI reported the games and the costume table. It did not say how many children came or what the costumes cost.
