SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Halloween is still a couple of weeks away, but the scary fun has already started at Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital!

Pediatric patients, their families, and the staff dressed up for a party, hosted by Spirit Halloween. It’s part of their Spirit of Children program, giving kids who wouldn’t otherwise be able to celebrate the holiday the chance to get creative with a costume and collect some candy.

Since 2011, Spirit of Children has donated a portion of customer donations from local Spirit Halloween stores to Golisano.
