Jacksonville company to gift kids custom-built wheelchairs for Halloween

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Centers of Independent Living Jacksonville (CIL Jacksonville) has partnered with the architectural firm RS&H to put smiles on children’s faces this Halloween.

A team of architects, engineers, artists and volunteers will build costumes for kids who have disabilities and host a reveal on Thursday at 4 p.m. at the RS&H building.

The goal is to make each kid have a unique experience.

News4JAX will show everyone the amazing costume reveals on Thursday. In the meantime, we will drop some of the costumes built in years past!
