BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
A not so spooky start to the holiday season, for some kids who may already be dealing with a scary situation.
Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare hosted a Halloween Party for pediatric patients.
It's a part of TMH's "Child Life program" designed to take the scary out of healthcare.
The children and their families took part in arts and crafts; and of course there were treats.
"Yeah we got a lot of cool costumes that [Spirit Halloween] donated this year. — These funds allow us to get legos, slime-making stuff and coloring books for kids too." said Zoe Zablocki, Child Life Specialist of TMH.
Funding for the celebration was provided through Spirit Halloween's "Spirit of Children" program.
So far, that's raised $299,000 for TMH.
