Children’s Assistive Technology Service (C.A.T.S.) proudly presents our 8th Annual Hallowheels event this October. Imagine a world where wheelchairs and walkers become vehicles of boundless imagination and joy. That’s what Hallowheels is all about!

🌟 Unleash Creativity: Every child’s imagination is unique, and so is every costume. Whether it’s a simple costume or an elaborate transformation of their mobility device, all forms of creativity are celebrated at Hallowheels. We’ll provide a starter “kit” for the costume frame, step-by-step instructional videos, and even virtual assistance to help bring your ideas to life. We understand that not all families may have the time for an intricate build, but the spirit of celebration is what truly matters.

📸 Spotlight Moment: Share photos of your child’s dazzling costume. These will be showcased on our website during Halloween week, celebrating their creativity and spirit.

🎉 Trunk or Treat: Join us for family-friendly festivities at our Roanoke, Richmond, and Hampton Roads locations, thanks to our partners: The University of Lynchburg, Mobility Works, and Chartway Promise Foundation. It’s more than just an event; it’s a celebration of inclusivity and joy.

Every Vote Counts: Friends, family, and supporters can vote for their favorite costumes with a $1.00 donation. Not only will the most popular costumes win prizes, but every dollar raised directly supports C.A.T.S.’s mission of providing free assistive technology.
