Team members are invited to participate in the annual Spooky Trail at Niswonger Children’s Hospital! This is a safe, indoor event that gives pediatric patients an alternative trick-or-treat experience.
Team members are invited to participate in groups with themed group costumes to hand out treats throughout the day. Groups will visit patient rooms throughout the hospital to bring some Halloween fun and a sense of normalcy for patients who are hospitalized and might miss out on traditional trick-or-treating.
The event takes place on Halloween, with time slots available at 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.

Since many patients might not be able to have candy, stickers, pencils, bubbles, activity kits and Play-Doh also make great treats to hand out. Those who bring candy should ensure that all food items are store-bought and individually wrapped from the manufacturer.
Teams who arrive at the hospital for the event should check in at the table that will be in front of Timmy’s Playroom on the first floor. The trail starts at the St. Jude clinic, then to the pediatric floor and ending in the PICU. Patients will have a bag hanging from their door for treats. Team members can pause for pictures, but we ask that team members stay out of the patient rooms.
Email Rodney.Rhodes@balladhealth.com with how many people are in your group, what you plan to dress as and which time slot you’d like to visit.
