Happy Hat’s mission is to uplift the spirits, enrich lives and ease the fears of hospitalized children. They help shift their focus away from discomfort and pain through educational, and interactive family activities.
They help raise the self-esteem and independence of disabled youths with special needs, autism, down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and visual and hearing impairments. Through their vital transition to work program, communication and motor skills are significantly improved.
Happy Hats used their grant to serve kids in 71 hospitals through out the United States, through their Hero Happy Hats program and coordinating dispersion of a 60-page Hero Club bi-lingual, educational, story/activity books with crayons. Every child, upon hospital admission receives these packages at no cost to the families or hospitals. The children learn that courage and bravery comes from within and each child is truly a “HERO.”
