BOO! For Kids

Scare up a good time – for a good cause – this Halloween

The "You've been boo-ed" idea is a favorite holiday tradition to share some fun and laughter this Halloween - all while giving back to East Tennessee Children's Hospital.

Help us say BOO! to childhood illness

When you purchase a 2022 Boo! for Kids yard sign, Children’s Hospital will surprise a patient in our hospital with a fun Halloween treat. Plus, 100 percent of all proceeds go to East Tennessee Children’s Hospital, to help fund critical programs and life-saving equipment needs.

Anyone can play
