Holiday Heroes provides a combination of in-person "parties" and online programs (twitchTV and virtual visits), activity boxes with 3-5 age-appropriate crafts, toys, catered meals, themed gifts, and costumed characters, as well as providing outpatient clinics with our Hero Packs (a smaller grab and go activity bag ). We help brighten the days for pediatric patients and their families!
All of these programs are provided at no cost to the patients and healthcare facilities and are funded entirely by donations, fundraising events, and grants.
I loved the cause and the people that were behind it. It was an easy yes to join a motivated leadership team that was dedicated to improving the lives of pediatric patients.
Josh Spencer, Board Member
Holiday Heroes truly has a way of connecting with our patients in such a manner that each interaction is magical and memorable. Having the ability to pass out tangible items and activities during each event allowed the festivities to continue on even after each visit.

These programs have the ability to bring so much joy to our pediatric patients who are otherwise stuck in their hospital rooms, due to our playroom only allowing one patient in at a time. With every box comes new crafts associated with a certain holiday or season, our patients get so excited to unpack the boxes and start decorating their otherwise blank hospital rooms and windows, with the personal touches of their creative masterpieces, all because of the crafts provided by the Holiday Heroes Organization.

Hospitalized children and their families experience a tremendous amount of stress and anxiety when dealing with serious or prolonged illnesses. Hospitals, although healing environments are not designed to provide the kind of interaction that kids require to have a healthy social psyche.
Holiday Heroes provides an escape for pediatric patients, allowing them to just be kids and to focus on healthy social interaction as opposed to their medical condition. Our "parties" create life-long memories that improve the patients' quality of life and improve their likelihood of holistic recovery.
