No Tricks, Just Treats with Spurs Forward Julian Champagnie

Methodist Children’s Hospital in San Antonio, Texas, was extra festive this Halloween as Spurs forward Julian Champagnie surprised young patients and staff.

Halloween Celebration at Methodist Children’s Hospital

The hospital transforms annually, with each unit choosing a unique theme, decorating their areas elaborately, and staff dressing in costumes to match. This year, the event featured reverse trick-or-treating, where hospital leaders gave out candy door-to-door to patients rather than children asking for treats.

This visit is part of the Spurs' ongoing efforts to connect with the community and brighten lives beyond the basketball court.
