FRIGHT NIGHT 2010!

Our 4th annual Fright Night event on Saturday October 23rd was a huge success! You helped to raise $1,740! Thank you to everyone who came out and waited so patiently for your chance to travel the trail of terrors!

We would love to hear from you (or share your photos) on what you on what you liked, what you were most scared of, what you feel we could do better, and anything else you would like to share with us and our 70+ volunteers who gave their time to entertain. Some of our helpers put in more than 20 hours of time, helping with setup and being characters in the stories.

We apologize for the rain in the evening! Still you stayed, and we know a number of you waited a long time to get in. We can't thank you enough for your patience and support of the United Way and the Youth Centre. A list has already been drafted up for improvements and ideas for next year's event to get the wait time way down, and to place the lineup completely inside the building so that the weather isn't a hassle for you. It was our pleasure to host this local, grass-roots, volunteer driven event for the benefit of local charity and can't wait to give you an even bigger show next year!

Many thanks to our event supporters, from CKDO and KX96 who even sent out the Community Cruiser to broadcast from the site, to Rogers TV, Clarington This Week, Oshawa/Whitby This Week, OPG, Custom Printing, Bathe & McLellean, Ron Trickey from Pizza Pizza in Bowmanville who donated pizzas to feed our volunteers. It was a fantastic wave of support that pretty much enabled us to run this event with a zero budget, meaning all the proceeds really nailed the goal of going right into needy causes, with next to nothing spent on administrative / setup costs.

CKDO Radio - Durham's BestHey - check out the interview we did Tuesday October 19th with Terry Johnston from CKDO Radio. What an amazing station! CKDO has long been a strong supporter of Durham businesses and charity events, including the United Way. Our thanks to Terry for his generous gift of time to help spread the word and help a good cause.
