A patient at Baptist Children's Hospital, wearing his new Starlight hospital gown, enjoys a treat during a "Day of Joy."

The Joy in Childhood Foundation, a charitable foundation powered by Dunkin' and Baskin-Robbins, hosted a "Day of Joy" at the Spence and Becky Wilson Baptist Children's Hospital. The event included delivery of Joy in Childhood Foundation custom Starlight hospital gowns for the young patients.

The "Day of Joy" is a designated day when the Joy in Childhood Foundation offers its support to organizations that share its mission to provide the simple joys of childhood through special events and activities to kids battling hunger or illness.

As part of last month's event, patients at the hospital received a donation of Starlight Gowns to wear. Hospital staff and families also were served coffee and donuts donated on behalf of Dunkin'. The Starlight Gowns, designed by the Joy in Childhood Foundation, feature colorful depictions inspired by "the courage of pediatric patients."
