There are no tricks, just treats this Halloween as Disney and Starlight Children’s Foundation bring the frightfully fun season to children in hospitals, with donated costumes, books and toys.
Disney has worked with Starlight Children’s Foundation for more than 20 years, and this year, in a new program launching July 29, fans can help Disney and Starlight deliver joy.

For each sale of a Halloween costume on DisneyStore.com, beginning July 29, 2024, Disney will donate a costume to Starlight Children’s Foundation, up to 20,000 costumes. This Halloween program is part of Disney’s ongoing efforts to deliver joy when it’s needed most to children facing serious illnesses, and their families.
“Disney works with children’s hospitals and pediatric places of care around the world, creating distinctly Disney experiences that deliver moments of joy when they’re needed most,” Lisa Haines, SVP, Corporate Social Responsibility at Disney, said. “We hope these Disney Store costumes featuring their beloved Disney characters help bring the fun of Halloween to kids who may not be able to trick-or-treat this year.”

These heartwarming Halloween activities are one example of Disney’s $100 million global commitment to reimagine the patient experience in children’s hospitals. These efforts build on a legacy of support for kids and families beginning with Walt Disney himself, who brought Disney animators and characters to visit hospitalized children.
“No one does Halloween like Disney, and what better way to celebrate the season than by giving back to help children,” Patrick Sager, VP, Retail Marketing for Disney Consumer Products, said. “We’re excited to bring our Disney Store costumes and our beloved characters to support Starlight Children’s Foundation and their important mission this Halloween.”
