This event is free for participants, thanks to the generous support of volunteers, sponsors, and community partners.

How It Works:

Two-Day Build Session (10/3 - 10/4): Volunteer teams collaborate to design and construct unique costumes that integrate seamlessly with the child's wheelchair.

Final Costume Fitting & Inclusive Trunk-or-Treat (10/4 2-4PM): Children are fitted into their newly crafted costumes and celebrate with a festive, accessible Trunk-or-Treat.
