Celebrate Our Superhero Patients This Cape Day
What is Cape Day?
Cape Day is an annual event in honor of the superhero patients battling illnesses and injuries at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Our patients are fighting obstacles every day, challenges most of us could never dream of. Every day, they put on their capes—literally and figuratively—and fight. We wear capes to show our superhero patients that they aren’t fighting alone.
How Can I Get Involved?
We all know someone we can wear a cape for and honor each year. Children's encourages its patients and employees, as well as schools, organizations and communities across Georgia to wear a cape on on Friday, Oct. 24, 2025.
Invite your community to join us in celebrating and honoring our courageous patients.
