Should local businesses play an active role in supporting the emotional needs of hospitalized children?
Tangram Interiors and Kimball International are hosting a drop-off event for handcrafted superhero capes designed to support patients at Valley Children's Healthcare. The collection effort, which provides decorating kits to participants, will conclude with an event on October 14, 2026.
Why it matters
The initiative serves as a community engagement effort that aims to uplift children currently undergoing medical treatment. By coordinating the supply of materials and managing a centralized drop-off, the program provides a structured way for local firms to contribute to regional health philanthropy.
During the 2025 inaugural year, the campaign engaged 80 local businesses, schools, and community partners to deliver 74 decorated capes. The initiative continues this year, with a scheduled drop-off event on October 14, 2026.

The details
