MISSION SPOTLIGHT |
Prom Night for St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital Patients
|
This year’s prom was stellar! Last month, patients and families of St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital were provided with out-of-this-world fun during its space-themed prom, held in partnership with the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation. The hospital hosts prom night each year for its teenage patients who are unable to attend their own dances, and for younger patients who, due to chronic or life-threatening conditions, may never get the opportunity. The outer space adventure took place in the hospital’s Medical Arts Building on Saturday, April 20, and featured a glam station, arcade games, prom swag bags, dinner and lots of dancing on a LED interactive dance floor. The hospital’s Child Life team, with support from the St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital Foundation, organizes milestone events like the prom to provide patients with experiences that they might not otherwise have due to treatments and hospitalization. |
