Party City Gives Costumes and Smiles to Children Facing Cancer at Annual Candlelighters NYC Event
October 17 2018 - 04:05PM
Special Appearance by PJ Masks Characters
at Event Where Kids Received Exclusive Access to Their Favorite
Halloween Costumes.
Families facing pediatric cancer participated in a unique Halloween
experience at Party City’s NYC location on 14th Street, thanks to
the Company’s continued support of Candlelighters NYC, a
non-profit organization supporting children with cancer. The
Manhattan store hosted an early, exclusive open house for
registered Candlelighters NYC families where kids chose their
favorite costumes and accessories from the store’s extensive
selection, generously donated by Party City and Gerry Rittenberg,
Director. This year’s event was even more exciting for the families
in attendance. Entertainment One (eOne) added to the
Candlelighters NYC’s guests’ day with a special appearance and meet
and greet with the heroic trio from its hit preschool TV series,
PJ Masks. The show’s main characters, Catboy,
Owlette, and Gekko, were there to provide the children a truly
magical experience.
“Our goal was to create as many smiles as we can for our special
families. Party City’s incredible generosity - combined with
the SUPER addition of PJ Masks - did just
that,” said Barbara Zobian, Founder and Executive Director,
Candlelighters NYC. “Every year, the event is an unforgettable
experience for our kids just when they need it most.” This is the
third year Party City has opened its doors for Candlelighters NYC
families. Since 2011, the Company has raised over $18 million
dollars overall in donations and fundraising, with a focus on
creating smiles for children.
