What's Happening?
The Moonbeams for Sweet Dreams tradition continues to bring light and hope to children at Corewell Health Children’s Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan. Each night, volunteers gather outside the hospital
to shine flashlights towards the pediatric rooms, while the children respond with their own lights. This event, which runs through the holiday season, aims to provide comfort and a sense of community to young patients and their families during a challenging time.
