An estimated 72.8 million kids could participate in trick-or-treating across the country this Halloween, according to the United States Bureau. However, not everyone can go knocking on doors, looking for candy.The Kentucky Childrens Hospital has a sweet solution. Its called reverse trick-or-treating.We have a lot of kids throughout the state of Kentucky who arent able to trick or treat, said Physician-in-Chief Scott Day. We want them to still have that experience, so thats why we dress up, and our community gets behind us and we do what we call reverse trick-or-treat, so we come to them.This treat tradition started in 2017, and its become a staple since.People talk about it year-round, said Day, like what are we going to be for reverse trick or treat?Student and staff groups from the University of Kentucky wore coordinated costumes and filled the halls, sharing the same goal.I think its important to take care of the kids, said Kimberly Blanton. They cant get out, and this is important to them to have people come through and kind of trick or treat with them, and they dont have to leave the room.We get to see what its like to bring a little bit of normal to them, Day added.The costumes ranged from a group of Ghostbusters to characters from Shrek to the Toy Story crew. Even Scratch, the UK mascot, dressed up as Woody.You have people throughout the community and throughout UK that come together for one cause, Day said. On Halloween we think about it being a scary time, because its spooky and stuff, but theres nothing that builds camaraderie like everybody coming together.This years reverse trick-or-treat was the biggest one yet, with more than 100 groups registering.I think its just another example of the community commitment, said Day, not just to the University of Kentucky, but really to the childrens hospital and to the future generations.
