SAN ANTONIO – Spurs forward Julian Champagnie swapped his jersey for a Scooby-Doo costume this Halloween to surprise patients at Methodist Children’s Hospital. Joined by the Spurs' mascot, Coyote, he handed out candy, posed for photos, and connected with young patients, spreading smiles and festive cheer.
Every Halloween, Methodist Children’s Hospital is transformed with unique themes and detailed decorations. Staff members dress up in costumes to enhance the festive atmosphere and participate in reverse trick-or-treating, where hospital leadership visits patient rooms handing out treats.
This year’s event was made even more memorable with Champagnie’s visit and the presence of the Emergency Services Facility Dogs—Lady, Fresca, and Chanel—who were dressed as a surgeon, a witch, and a spider.
"I didn’t make a wish, but it felt like one. It was inspirational to see the actual walking dream. I didn’t think I was this special, but he made me feel like I was."
"I appreciate the hospital for giving me this opportunity."
— Jamal Magee, patient
