The 2026 Bad Pants Open brought together a community of supporters for a one-of-a-kind day on the course, all in support of Texas Children’s tiniest patients. ⛳️🍼

From the outrageous Best Pants Contest to the inspiring Mission Moment, the day was filled with fun, purpose, and meaningful connections.

We also celebrated an exceptional member of our NICU team, Barbara, who was named the 2026 NICU Nurse of the Year. Recognizing the expertise, compassion and dedication that make a difference for critically ill and premature infants and their families.

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported our efforts to advance neonatal care. Because behind every pair of bad pants is a very good reason to make a difference. ❤️

Flu season is here, and we're sharing what parents need to know to help keep their families healthy.

Annual flu vaccination helps reduce the risk of serious illness in children, but parents may still have questions about timing, doses and effectiveness.

We're breaking down what you need to know about the flu vaccine so you can feel more informed heading into the season.

Save this post for later and share it with another parent or caregiver.

We have a star in our midst... Nico, an incredibly talented 10-year-old Texas Children’s patient, proved you don’t need a stage to put on a concert!  

After 40 days in the hospital receiving neurological and ENT care, Nico hosted his Farewell Concert as he prepared to head home.

Alongside his music therapist, Marial, Nico showcased his impressive piano skills as they performed “Count on Me” by Bruno Mars. His care team joined in, singing along, cheering him on and enjoying every note. Nico even signed autographs and shared why Texas Children’s is so special to him, explaining how his nurses and doctors have helped him stay strong by making him smile and earning his trust.

Nico’s parents, Jason and Tammi, also sat down to share a little about Nico’s journey and how their faith has kept them grounded throughout their time in the hospital. 

Thank you to Tammi, Jason, and Nico, for sharing your story with us.️ 

It’s moments like these that remind us how important the relationships between our care teams, patients and families truly are. ❤️

When Asher was born at just 26 weeks, he was transferred to Texas Children’s NICU. His mom, Shawna, couldn’t always hold him, but there was one thing they could always do together: read. Reading became their way of bonding.

Then came Rocket, a teddy bear from Asher’s grandfather who became part of their story, too. Eight years later, Asher and Rocket came back to Texas Children’s for our Little Listeners NICU Read-A-Thon, this time with a story of their own.

For Asher and his family, something as simple as reading together made a lasting impact. Now, they’re sharing that with the families who are just beginning their own NICU journey. ❤️

A special moment on the mound. ⚾️

Recently, Texas Children’s heart transplant patients Santi and Hannah joined Dr. Joseph Spinner on the field at a Sugar Land Space Cowboys game to throw out the first pitch.

It’s not every day our patients and care teams get to take the field together, making this a night Santi, Hannah and Dr. Spinner won’t soon forget.

Thank you to the Space Cowboys for welcoming our patients and Dr. Spinner for such a special night!

Before your little ones head out for an evening of fun, try these three simple tips from our pediatric dietician experts:

Start with a balanced meal to help keep children satisfied before heading out to trick-or-treat.

Encourage them to choose their favorite treats and save the rest to enjoy later.

Stay hydrated by bringing a water bottle along for the evening.

A little planning can help your family enjoy Halloween while keeping healthy habits in mind.

From all of us at Texas Children’s: Have fun, stay safe, and happy trick-or-treating! 🎃

We are so grateful to The Faris Foundation, for their continued support of our patients, families, and for helping us honor pediatric cancer patients and survivors every September during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

For more than 10 years, the Faris Foundation has been a steadfast partner to Texas Children’s, continually giving back to support our patients, families and research. From funding research to empowering patients to create art throughout their treatment and sponsoring our Going Gold celebrations, including our beloved patient parade, their generosity continues to make a meaningful difference.

After the passing of her son, Faris, Dr. Asha Virani was inspired to establish a foundation in his memory, turning her love for him into a beautiful legacy of hope and a commitment to finding more cures.

Thank you, Dr. Virani and the entire Faris Foundation, for standing alongside us and carrying Faris’s memory forward through your support of Kinder Children's Cancer Center.🎗️

Every ring carries a story.

A story of strength. Of resilience. Of how far they’ve come, and all the hope that lies ahead.

This special bell ringing was a moment to honor childhood cancer survivors' journeys and the milestones that hold so much meaning along the way.

May the sound of each bell serve as a reminder of hope, resilience and the impact of survivorship.

A full-circle moment for Kinder Children’s Cancer Center.

Yesterday, current team members who are also childhood cancer survivors came together for a special bell ringing.

For many, it was their first time ringing the bell — a milestone made even more meaningful by the journeys that brought them here. From once being cancer patients themselves to now dedicating their careers to caring for children and families facing cancer, their stories are a powerful reminder of the impact of survivorship. This is more than passion, it’s purpose.

We were honored to be joined by Rich and Nancy Kinder, who had the opportunity to see the meaningful difference and lasting impact their generosity has made for our patients, families and team members.

Those who rang the bell are an inspiration to the patients they care for today as their stories are examples of strength, courage, and hope.

We celebrate and honor their resilience, their journeys and the incredible full-circle moments that make Kinder Children’s Cancer Center so special.

We have lots of photos in our library, but these will always have a special place in our hearts. 🐾❤️

This month, we celebrated 10 years of our Pawsitive Play Program, and we wanted to share some extra love for the pups and handlers who bring so much love to Texas Children’s.

Every day, this special team brings comfort, joy and support to our patients and families, whether it’s a reassuring paw, a much needed snuggle or simply being there when they’re needed most.

We’re so grateful for our entire facility dog team and the care and heart they bring to Texas Children’s.
