CINCINNATI, Oct. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Monsters, princesses and a host of other cute characters flooded the halls at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center this week for two fun days of trick-or-treating.
The Aaron W. Perlman Center at Cincinnati Children's serves children with cerebral palsy and other chronic physical disabilities. Together with members of their care team, groups of patients went trick-or-treating in several hallways of the medical center. For some children and families, this is the only way trick-or-treating is possible.
The annual event is just as eagerly anticipated by kids and families as it is by Cincinnati Children's employees who dress up and bring in treats or small toys to hand out. If an office hangs a jack-o-lantern poster on their door, it meant "the lights are on" and trick-or-treaters are invited for goodies.
