RICHMOND, Va. — Spirit Halloween is teaming up with the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU to help support young patients who may be spending the holiday at the hospital.

Now through Halloween, you can support the fundraising campaign by using a 10 percent off coupon in-store or by entering the code “GIVING2024” online.

The popular Halloween costume and decoration store will donate that 10 percent back to the Children’s Hospital in Downtown Richmond.

In-store shoppers can also donate at the checkout.

The money goes to the hospital’s Child Life team, a network of specialists who support patients and their families by making the experience less scary for kids.

Rachel Bruni serves as executive director of Corporate Partnerships within the Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Last year, Spirit Halloween and the local community helped raise more than $140,000 for the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU.

“We are just so honored to have the chance to work with a company like this who really cares about giving back and helping kids who are in a hospital setting,” Bruni explained. “They're dealing with some pretty big things and trying to bring joy and levity in the midst of all of that.”

Since 2010, total donations have surpassed $1,000,000.

Each year, Spirit Halloween throws a Halloween party for the patients. They deliver costumes, pumpkin painting, goodies and more for all patients and families to enjoy.
