Support organization
Costumes for Courage accepts public nominations for costumes intended to help children feel confident while facing treatment or another significant medical challenge. A requester submits a separate form for each child, including siblings, with costume preferences, size, the child’s story, relationship, and mailing information. The organization says it will make every attempt to mail a requested costume, but exact choices, cost, age and medical thresholds, approval, timing, capacity, privacy, and current international rules are not published. Support is limited to one costume-sending occasion per family.
