Entire Nashville Predators Team Joins Children’s Hospital Staff to Bring Halloween to Patients

October 30, 2009

WHAT: Halloween-costumed staff members, as well as the entire Nashville Predators professional hockey team, will parade throughout Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, distributing treats to patients on each floor.

WHEN: Friday, Oct. 30, at 2 p.m.

WHERE: The Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, 2200 Children’s Way, Nashville

DETAILS: Patients at Children’s Hospital don’t have to miss out on Halloween, even though they can’t receive candy or go trick-or-treating. The entire Nashville Predators team will join costumed hospital staffers who fill wagons with goodies such as crayons, games and stuffed animals, then go room-to-room to fill patients’ Halloween bags. Earlier in the day, the hospital’s Child Life and Volunteer Services teams will help patients make their own costumes, so they can dress up and join in the fun.

Members of the media interested in attending the Predators visit should go to the second-floor information desk at Children’s Hospital. Parking is available in the South Garage adjacent to the hospital, and parking tickets will be validated at the information desk.
