During the holiday season, when no family ever wishes to be admitted to the hospital, the Hailey Bankhead Foundation was honored to bring moments of joy, comfort, and hope to families at Arthur M. Blank Children’s Hospital.
With a warm catered lunch, thoughtful gifts, Hailey Hope Bags, and a cozy hot chocolate bar, we worked to turn a difficult time into one filled with smiles and love. Special holiday deliveries were also made to the Aflac floor, ensuring even more families felt remembered and supported.
This meaningful day would not have been possible without the generosity of The Armstrong Company- Atlanta, our dedicated Partners, Pinky’s Just Like Home Cooking, and our incredible volunteers who showed up with open hearts and helping hands.
No family chooses to spend the holidays in the hospital—but the Hailey Bankhead Foundation is committed to bringing a ray of sunshine on even the cloudiest days.
