I am sure many of you have heard that they are not having the TLC Halloween Parade this year. I believe it was said that “it brings too many people into the hospital.” Well of course it does! Who does not want to see our little ones running around in costumes that their teachers so proudly helped them make?

It has been a tradition that TLC has had with Helen Hayes Hospital for many years. A tradition I am sure that TLC’s former director would be very sad to hear come to an end. This parade brings so much happiness and joy for the children, parents, grandparents, extended family, hospital staff, and patients alike.

I do not know if this petition will save the Halloween Parade, but it will show how much it means to us. So please get the word out and have as many sign this petition who do not want to see such a happy event taken away from us, and more importantly taken away from our children who look forward to making their costumes and wearing them with so much pride, Thank you.
