"The mission of Spirit Halloween and our child life program align. We work together to make the hospital less scary," said Diana Sundberg, UC Davis Child Life and Creative Arts Therapy manager. "The Spirit team has been our partner for years now and our child life program, especially our fellowship program, would not be what it is without their support."
Thanks to donations by Spirit Halloween, the UC Davis Child Life and Creative Arts Therapy Department has been able to offer 21 child life fellowship opportunities. These provide additional training and supervision to aspiring certified child life specialists. The department has also built upon internship and student training programs, expanded child life services into the Children's Surgery Center, Pediatric Infusion Center, Pediatric Emergency Department and Radiology, and assisted children of adult patients who are experiencing life-altering illnesses.
Spirit Halloween also donates costumes and treats and hosts a Halloween party for hospitalized children at UC Davis Children's Hospital each year.
Spirit Halloween's Spirit of Children Foundation raises money annually for child life programs across the U.S. These programs are dedicated to helping minimize the anxiety of hospitalization, increasing understanding and strengthening coping skills for sick and injured children and their families. In 2022, Spirit Halloween donated more than $124,000 to the UC Davis Child Life and Creative Arts Therapy Department.
