Team Halloween raises over $600.00!
At the 7th New England Haunter’s Gathering, Team Halloween raised $660.00 for the Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition by holding a Silent Auction. The staff of the Haunt Club cleaned out their attics and offered up Halloween items that they no longer needed. Halloween books, cds, collectors items and props were sold with for a good cause.

Dear Pam,
We would like to express our thanks to the East Coast Haunt Club for its outstanding generosity. The donation of $660.00 collected from the silent auction held at your successful fundraiser in Salem, MA is greatly appreciated by the Board of Directors and staff of Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition.
Your support of the Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition sustains our efforts to raise awareness, advocate for increased research into causes and prevention of breast cancer and kindle the extraordinary power of women and men everywhere who are touched by this struggle.

With Sincerest Thanks,
Deborah Shields
Executive Director
Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition

Haunters like to startle, to scare and to entertain. But they also like to help people and causes. Across the country, Haunted Attractions, professional and amateur alike have turned themselves into Charity Haunts. They do this by collecting canned food for the hungry or monetary donations for various charities and organizations.

These efforts are not just confined to October and the haunting season. Haunters want the world to know that we give to the community not just during Halloween, but all year round. Thus…Team Halloween was born…

Team Halloween is a charitable project, started by Mike Krausert of Bad Boys Scenic Design when he participated in “Against the Tide” and kayaked to raise money for the Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition. "I wanted a name to represent what I love." says Mike, who has been fundraising and haunting for 15 years. Mike received donations not only from friends and neighbors, but from people in the Haunt community including a generous donation from Terror on The Fox, the Haunted Attraction that he works for.

Inspired by Mike and the generosity of haunters like him, Team Halloween caught on and was used by Midnyte Hollow for a walkathon to benefit The Support Connection that same year and proceeded to expand with the sale of ribbon magnets and other merchandise.

Our hope is that haunters and Halloween enthusiasts will use the name Team Halloween to raise money for cancer support groups, cancer research or for any organization that they feel is worthy.
