We visit local hospitals to deliver hope and healing to seriously ill children.

Chelsea's Closet - Inspiring hope and healing to seriously-ill children through therapeutic dress up and play.
Coronavirus Update: We need your help now more than ever.
We are unable to go into the hospitals to deliver costumes due to COVID-19 restrictions, so we are seeking new ways to connect with those families for dress up and play with Chelsea’s Closet. We are working closely with our partners at Doernbecher and Randall Children’s Hospital to explore unique ways to get costumes to seriously ill children in their care. Learn more about Costume Care Packages.
Chelsea Hicks was an amazing little girl who loved life. In April 2007, Chelsea was diagnosed with Stage IV Wilms’ tumor cancer, involving her right kidney, lymph nodes and lungs. Chelsea loved to dress up, have tea parties and parades while on the oncology floor. On February 20, 2009, Chelsea lost her courageous battle. She was only five years old. We will forever be grateful for the hours of fun and play that she inspired with her impish grin and infectious laughter. She will never be forgotten and we honor her by helping other kids fighting serious illnesses with The Chelsea Hicks Foundation and Chelsea’s Closet program.
“When serious illness impacts a young person’s childhood and a family’s well-being, CHF’s creative programs provide hope, support and opportunities to share special moments together and create memories to last a lifetime.”
