Every year, Scares That Care gives a gift of $10,000 to three individuals: a breast cancer patient, a severe burn victim, and a sick child.
Scares That Care relies on the generosity of our supporters to help our three recipients every year. We host charity events annually that raise money for those we help. The charity also hosts online auctions, raffles, and giveaways.
Want to support us? Come to one of our charity events, follow us online, and consider giving us a donation.
