KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Now in its second year, the “BOO! For Kids” fundraiser is a way to get into the Halloween spirit while contributing to a good cause.
For every “BOO! For Kids” yard sign purchased, East Tennessee Children’s Hospital will surprise a young patient with a Halloween treat. All proceeds benefit the hospital, helping fund programs and life-saving equipment.
"This sign saves lives," ETCH Community Programs Officers Meg Sprouse said. "This sign is going to be an awesome addition to your Halloween tradition."
Here is how it works:
1. Purchase one or more yard sign(s) by clicking here. One sign is $25.
2. Pick up the yard sign(s) at a participating facility.
3. BOO! a friend, family member or neighbor by placing the sign(s) and a treat in their yard.
4. Watch as they open the door and receive their surprise!
5. Keep the BOO! going by encouraging friends and family to BOO! others.
"[The fundraiser] going to help provide technology for the hospital, medical equipment that's necessary for the hospital," Sprouse said. "So, it's a great cause to get behind and to get in the Halloween spirit."
