Who we are
Dedicated to making sure laughter and joy are apart of the healing process.
Impacting the lives of pediatric patients and their families since 2009.
Our Mission
Holiday Heroes brings joy to pediatric patients and their families through meaningful in-person and virtual experiences that support emotional well-being and resilience during medical treatment.
Our Vision
Holiday Heroes envisions a world where pediatric patients and their families experience joy, laughter, and emotional support as an essential part of the healing journey.
Our Values
IMPACT
We measure what matters. By gathering meaningful feedback and data, we continuously learn, improve our programs, and make better decisions for the patients and families we serve.
COLLABORATION
We believe impact is greater when built together. By forming purposeful partnerships with hospitals, families, volunteers, and sponsors, we expand our reach and better serve pediatric patients and their communities.
COMPASSION
We lead with empathy, kindness, and respect in everything we do. We create inclusive, welcoming experiences for patients and families of all backgrounds — because compassion is central to who we are and how we serve.
INTEGRITY
We do what we say we will do. We hold ourselves accountable to high standards, honoring our commitments to care facilities, medical teams, patients, and families through responsible, dependable action.
Our PEOPLE
Maggie handles all of the accounting, and operations, and assists with our programming at Holiday Heroes to keep our day-to-day interactions with hospital staff and patients running smoothly.
Maggie's background in Child Life is what brought her to Holiday Heroes and its ability to impact the lives of children across the country, which is her passion. "I am in a fortunate position to put smiles on the faces who need it most and want to extend that reach to as many children as I can."
When Maggie is off duty, she loves spending time with her beautiful kids, and loving husband and takes advantage of any opportunity to travel and explore new places with them.
