Kate Andrus Pumpkin Prowl Fundraiser

Every year for the past 6 years, we have hosted an alternative Hallween event for the community which starts at Belview park where we partake in games and crafts, followed by trick-or-treating through the neighbourhood at participating homes.

The event (usually) takes place on a weekend before Halloween (date determined each April), and this year our 7th annual event will be held VIRTUALLY on October 31st, 2020.

Whether due to divorce, work schedules, or any number of reasons why parents or other family members might miss Hallowen on the actual night, Pumpkin Prowl offers a free event that aims to create a similar experience, yet enhances on a broader sense of community with our gathering at the park beforehand, and marching in a parade fashion with family, friends, and special appearances by Spider-Man, Darth Vador, and others each year.

20 children took part in our inaugural event in 2014, with participation doubling each year with 250 kids in attendance 2017. 

Thanks to individual and small/medium-sized business donations, we are able to provide candy for participating homes so they don't have to provide these items for two Halloweens. 

Other costs include supplies and materials for decorations and games, and marketing (ie flyers and website hosting), SEAT applications, insurance, bouncy castles, washrooms, etc.

Pumpkin Prowl is hosted by Tara Aronson and Larry Pattison.

This is an ongoing fundraiser for anyone who wants to contribute to the cause throughout the year.
