Who Will You Wear a Cape for this Year?

This year we will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of Cape Day, an annual tradition held in October that encourages the community to honor and celebrate the strong and resilient patients facing illnesses and injuries at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Every day, our patients overcome healthcare obstacles and face challenges that most of us could never imagine. We wear a cape in honor of them.

We look forward to celebrating Cape Day on October 20th!
