Celebrate your hidden hero on Cape Day, October 25!

Who Will You Wear a Cape for this Year?

Cape Day is an annual tradition held in the Fall 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!

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 Cape Day. Check back soon for more information about Cape Day 2024.

Invite your community to join us in celebrating and honoring our courageous patients.
