Daily Do Good: Santa Scales Children’s Hospital To Visit Young Patients

Last Friday, Santa Claus brought joy and excitement to families at Children’s Hospital in Colorado Springs by rappelling down the side of the hospital building with some help from Army Special Forces soldiers from nearby Fort Carson. The heartwarming event, witnessed by families from inside the hospital and a small crowd outside, featured Santa and two helpers dressed like him descending down the building on ropes.

The spectacle was part of the hospital's fourth annual Christmas parade, a tradition that brings holiday cheer to the families with children being treated at the hospital. Hospital spokesperson, Shawna Grissom, says seeing the children’s faces light up at the sight was an emotional moment. And spectators like Rachel McFerrin and her daughter Sage, who’d previously spent holidays in the hospital, were deeply moved by the parade.

As part of the event, the hospital also set up a marketplace to allow parents to shop for Christmas gifts for their children, adding to the festive atmosphere. The event was made possible by the collaboration of nearly 20 partners, volunteers, and organizations, and they hope to make the rappelling Santa a regular feature in future years.
