RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Four hundred pediatric patients will receive Carolina Hurricanes-themed hospital gowns as part of a donation announced Monday.

Amy Daniels, executive director of the Carolina Hurricanes Foundation, announced Monday that 400 pediatric patients will receive Hurricanes-themed hospital gowns through a $10,000 donation from the foundation.

Patients at Maynard Children's Hospital, Duke Children's Hospital and UNC Children's Hospital will receive the gowns.
