What is Cape Day?

Cape Day is a system-wide celebration of courage at Children’s Health – where we honor our superhero patients, team members and caregivers.

Each year on National Superhero Day, our hospital transforms into a place of capes, crafts and community. Patients receive superhero capes as a symbol of their strength and physicians, nurses and staff proudly wear capes, too — honoring their commitment to delivering exceptional pediatric care and life-saving treatments.

From superhero appearances to bedside celebrations, Cape Day creates unforgettable, joy-filled experiences for patients and their families. It’s a powerful reminder that even in the most challenging moments, there is hope — and heroes walk among us every day.

How Can I Honor a Superhero in my Life on Cape Day?

For more than 110 years, Children’s Health has been committed to making life better for children across North Texas and beyond. The incredible difference at Children’s Health is found in everyday excellence — the people, programs, and research that make our hospitals extraordinary. Behind every story are teams and community support working together to make life-changing moments possible.

As we look to the next 100 years, it is our commitment to grow with North Texas, and you can help by making a gift today to honor the superheroes in your life and our superhero patients and caregivers on Cape Day.
