Spirit Halloween’s “10-for-10” coupon takes 10% off your entire purchase, and Spirit donates a matching 10% to a children’s hospital in your area. It’s the annual Spirit of Children charity effort, the retailer’s charity, which has raised more than $164 million for children’s hospitals across the U.S. and Canada since fundraising began in 2007 and has a $20 million goal for 2026.
How to Use the Coupon
The 10-for-10 takes 10% off your entire Spirit Halloween order, and Spirit donates a matching 10% to the Child Life department at a partner children’s hospital near the store — Spirit says 100% of what a community raises stays in that community. There are two ways to use it: present the coupon at any Spirit Halloween store, or enter its promo code at checkout on SpiritHalloween.com. The exact code varies by the partner hospital the coupon comes from — HOPE26 and GIVING26 are both going around this year — so use the one printed on the coupon you pick up. It is single-use and limited to one per customer, and it is valid through October 31, 2026. A handful of the big-ticket animatronics are excluded — Jumping Spider, the Sitting and Scary Sitting Scarecrows, Cerberus, Gourdo, Art the Clown, and Freddy Fazbear — and it does not apply to prior purchases or taxes. The coupon is handed out through Spirit’s partner children’s hospitals rather than Spirit’s own website, so to grab the printable version, look for it on a partner hospital’s giving page.
Spirit runs the 10-for-10 every Halloween season as part of its Spirit of Children fundraiser, so the discount comes back each fall.
Spirit’s Other Codes: TAKE20, TREAT26, DELIVER5, and 10PICKUP
On October 8, SpiritHalloween.com listed four other codes. TAKE20 takes 20% off one item online and in stores through October 13, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern, and it excludes the same seven animatronics as the 10-for-10 plus Spirit’s Christmas animatronics. TREAT26 gives free standard shipping, or $5 express shipping, on orders over $40. DELIVER5 gives $5 standard shipping on orders under $40, and 10PICKUP takes 10% off an order with in-store pickup. Spirit’s terms for TAKE20 say it can’t be combined with other promotional or shipping offers. DELIVER40, the shipping code Spirit ran in September, expired on September 30.
The 2026 Goal Is $20 Million, and Spirit of Children Week Is October 12 to 16
Spirit of Children set a $20 million fundraising goal for the 2026 season, its 20th year, on October 6. Spirit of Children Week runs October 12 through 16, when hospital staff and Spirit volunteers hold costume parties and trick-or-treat parades for patients at the program’s partner hospitals. More than 500,000 costumes have been donated to those hospitals over the years, according to the announcement.
“Every dollar raised goes directly to local hospital partners, funding Child Life programs that bring comfort, care, and everyday moments of joy to young patients when they need it most,” said Steven Silverstein, CEO of Spirit Halloween and founder of Spirit of Children.
What Spirit of Children Is
Spirit of Children began in 2006 with Halloween parties at just 11 hospitals. In 2026, its 20th year, it supports 167 pediatric hospitals across the United States and Canada, and it has raised more than $164 million since fundraising began in 2007. The money funds Child Life departments — the specialists and programs that help kids handle the fear, boredom, and stress of being in the hospital. Spirit says the dollars go toward child life staff, sensory equipment, art, music and pet therapy, playrooms and teen spaces, and family support. It also donates more than 20,000 costumes a year so young patients can still dress up, and says more than 13,000 children and families take part in its hospital Halloween parties each season.
Where the Money Goes
The program is national, but it runs hospital by hospital, and the local totals add up. In New Jersey, K. Hovnanian Children’s Hospital at Hackensack Meridian Jersey Shore University Medical Center said this month that Spirit has given it more than $900,000 over 11 straight years. In Dallas, Children’s Health says the partnership has raised about $2.7 million over 13 years, and Shriners Children’s puts its own total at more than $10 million since 2007. At each hospital, the money funds the Child Life department — art, music, and pet therapy, toys and tablets that distract kids during procedures, and support for families under stress. “We are so grateful that Spirit Halloween has chosen to benefit the Child Life program at the Children’s Hospital for more than a decade,” said Ellen Hahn, director of fundraising at K. Hovnanian.
The hospitals put a face to it, too. Children’s Health’s 2026 Spirit of Children ambassador is Samantha, a heart and kidney transplant recipient who loves Halloween and costumes so much that the staff calls her “Halloween Girl.”
Spirit has also supplied costumes and party supplies so young patients can celebrate Halloween during a hospital stay.
