Angels for Children at Huntsville Hospital was established in 1987 to assist Huntsville Hospital Foundation in raising funds for pediatrics and nurseries at Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children.
Super Heroes Visit Pediatric Unit Patients on the Pediatric Unit had some out-of-this-world visitors recently! Batman, Superman and the Green Lantern made a special appearance at the Spring Fling Party, hosted by Child Life and the Angels for Children last month. Besides meeting these super heroes, the children also got to decorate their very own super hero mask!

Pediatric Patients Celebrate Mardi Gras in Style! Mardi Gras parades don’t just happen on the streets of New Orleans. Earlier this month, the Child Life department held one at Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children! Riding in either wheelchairs or wagons, pediatric patients visited each floor of the hospital and handed out beads to doctors, nurses and visitors. Volunteers with Angels for Children took part in this exciting event that brought smiles to the faces of patients and staff alike!
Here's how YOU can help: The following events simply require your time one day out of the year, but your help is certainly needed and very appreciated!
 Swim for Melissa is an annual event which raises funds for the Melissa George Neonatal Memorial Fund. Children ages 5-14 years old put on their swim caps for the cause, and families enjoy a day full of fun and activities. Have a little more time to give? Consider one of these monthly volunteer opportunities. Help our visitors select that perfect gift for their special patient by working in our Gift Shop.
Making Pre-surgery Calls is a perfect project with time flexibility. Angels are needed to call and invite pediatric surgery patients and their parents to a special pre-surgery hospital tour. The Gift Committee is proud to sponsor Raise-A-Reader, a program that provides all of Huntsville Hospital’s new moms with a gift bag filled with information on the importance of reading to their child, a letter written by First Lady Laura Bush, and even a coupon for a free book! Can you help us by assembling these packets once every other month? Teens for Children - Teens for Children are teenage volunteers who support various activities and events throughout the year. It’s a great opportunity to build a college resume while helping our youngest patients! Stay tuned for Teens for Children benefits!

How do you say thanks to the nurses and doctors who took care of your child when they were sick? For 400 families whose children were in the Neonatal ICU, the answer was easy! They came to the 20th annual Neonatal ICU Reunion Party, hosted by Huntsville Hospital Foundation’s Angels for Children and the NICU nursing staff. “Graduates” of the NICU class of 2006, and their grateful parents, traveled from all over the Tennessee Valley recently to reunite with the physicians and nurses who took care of them. One family even traveled from Lexington, Florida!
The Autumn Chase Fun Run, a one-mile race held in the fall, is much anticipated every year by children, ages 4 through 8th grade, all over the Tennessee Valley.
Special Events, such as a Thanksgiving Lunch and a Mardi Gras Parade, are held monthly for our Pediatric patients. Help us by volunteering to serve cookies, assist with crafts, and lots of other fun stuff!
