The superheroes reject the hospital to visit the children

SAN ANTONIO – Several law agencies came together today to bring smiles to the children in the hospital.

Members of the San Antonio Police Department, San Antonio Fire Department and SWAT team participated in the 10th Annual Julian Andrade Superhero Drop.

The officers dressed up as various superheroes and bounced around Baptist North Central Hospital.

“They bounce off the roof of the Baptist Hospital here to spread joy to sick children. It’s just an awesome event,” said Nick Soliz of the SAPD.

Kids got to see superheroes like Deadpool, Spiderman, Wolverine and many more.

“We always joke and say this event is bigger than Christmas here because we have superheroes every year,” said Jordan Meyer, a nurse at the hospital.

This event is something that law enforcement officials, hospital workers and children alike can look forward to every Halloween.

“It’s great for the kids to make sure they can still take part in all the Halloween festivities. Even if they can’t eat or drink, we make sure we give them some options, like bubbles or Play Doh or some toys, so they can still be involved,” Meyer said.

This event is in honor of Julian Andrade, the son of a SAPD officer who lost his battle with cancer.
