This "spook-tacular" event aims to have children of all abilities -- disabled and able-bodied alike -- Trick or Treat alongside one another, stopping at over 60 "Haunted" Houses and Castles "expertly" decorated by sponsors like you. Since its inception over 10 years ago, the event has raised funds for local families of children with disabilities -- allowing ACCESS to give out financial grants totaling nearly $250,000 to families of children with disabilities for items not covered by insurance and/or Medicaid such as wheelchairs, adaptive car seats, adaptive bicycles/tricycles, car/home/van modifications, and other adaptive equipment and assistive devices.

Sponsor sign up options:

As always, 100% of all proceeds from BooFest – including your sponsorship -- go toward the non-profit, ACCESS, as they deliver on their mission to provide financial grants to the families of children with disabilities for items of need denied by private insurance or Medicaid.

Created in 2014, the ACCESS Fund’s mission is to provide assistance to families with a child or children under the age of 21 who have a disability.

ACCESS (Adapting and Changing Children's Environments with Successful Solutions) has granted more than $100,000 to these families in need.
