About this organization
Mission
The mission of Holiday Heroes is to provide joy and entertainment to hospitalized children who are battling life threatening illnesses by hosting themed parties and bedside visits. Holiday Heroes hospital parties and days of play take a child's mind away from the pain, anxiety and stresses of being hospitalized.
About
We brought over 3,200 patients and their families together for crafts, meals, gifts and entertainment at our parties during 2019. No one wants to be in the hospital, especially children. It's stressful, scary and isolating for them and their families. For hospitalized children, a little fun makes a big impact! Parties and days of play take a child's mind away from the pain, anxiety and stresses of being hospitalized. It encourages healthy social development and better recovery from illness.
