Scares That Care!

[ScaresThatCare]

Hello Horror Fans!

I'd like to Thank Steven for allowing us to post about our organization!

I would introduce myself, but who I am is unimportant! I'm here representing Scares That Care!

[URL="http://www.scaresthatcare.org/"]
Scares That Care![/URL] is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to uniting horror fans to help sick kids.

Led by horror film director and retired police officer Joe Ripple, this benefit will utilize the fan base of the horror, haunt and Halloween genres to raise funds and awareness for sick children in need. We plan to have a GREAT time holding benefits, by showing films, having silent auctions and maybe getting lucky enough to have a few celebrity appearances along the way. Our success depends upon YOU.

To date, we have raised a minimum of $10,000.00 for both the Johns Hopkins Children’s Cancer Center, and The Kennedy-Krieger Institute!

This year's proceeds will be going to the “Make-A-Wish” Foundation!

And when I say proceeds I mean 100% of all monies raised!

Scares That Care! functions solely on the generosity of horror fans, or those who just like to help kids. All proceeds go to the kids…we keep nothing.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in head on over to the main SITE and check out some of the great things you can get for your donation! Including Jewelery, Wrist Bands, T-Shirts, and Teddy Scares!

You can also like us on FACEBOOK

Stay tuned to this Topic for future Scares happenings, including an upcoming Auction and Charity Dinner!

If you have any questions or comments please feel free to post away!

Thanks all!

Anytime, my friend.

At least it's in the Spam section.

[Bojangles]

This guy is actually really cool. Heck, he contacted me before registering, making sure it was okay. Then, he asked which section he should post it in and informed me he would not be abusive or spam up the boards. He's cool.

I just finished playing around on their website. Looks like a very cool organization.

[ScaresThatCare]

Thanks Bojangles! I'm definitely not here to get under anyone's skin! Just trying to get the word out about a great organization doing great things for kids through a common love, Horror!

Thanks Dragon! There is lots more great stuff to come so keep checking back!!

[FreddysFingers]

IN that case, sorry for coming off as an asshole. We get a lot of spammers here and I thought you were one.

[ScaresThatCare]

No worries FF! No Spam for us!

[ScaresThatCare]

Hey Everyone!

If you'd like a chance to meet some of the Folks behind Scares That Care! you'll get it this weekend!

Scares That Care! will be attending HorrorFind Weekend this September 2nd - 4th!

HorrorFind will be held in Gettysburg PA!

You can check out their SITE for all the details

We'll be having a Silent Bizarre Auction on the 4th from 12 to 2!

If your going come say Hi!

[FreddysFingers]

Believe me, I wish I could be there at HorrorFind or any convention. If you're in Chicago like Flashback, give us a post!

[Friday The 13th]

I'll check out the site man!

[ScaresThatCare]

Thanks Friday!

We do quite a few Cons, I'll keep you guys updated as to our whereabouts!

[CarolinePar]

I'd like to give something for the auction but might be pressed for time for this years event...

put me on the mailing list for a donation for next year

[FreddysFingers]

It's so cool to see a logo that has a Frankenstein hand reaching out for a child's hand. Reminds me of that one scene in Frankenstein where he is playing with that little girl. THAT SHOULD BE YOUR INTRO SCENE!!!!

[Sobriquet]

That sounds pretty awesome, I will check it out.

[ScaresThatCare]

Thanks all! We do an Auction almost every Sunday on our Facebook page, we'll be doing a few larger ones coming up, one to benefit Scares! and one to benefit Kane Hodders Charity for burn victims!

I really like that idea FF, I wonder if we could get permission to use it?!?!

[FreddysFingers]

Frankenstein is owned by Universal but I'm sure if you ask them to use it as promotional stuff and credit them, it might look good on both ends. Universal helping out with a charity. Could be cool.

[ScaresThatCare]
