Welcome
Many families need our help
Scares That Care was founded by Joe Ripple, a retired Baltimore County, Maryland, Police Detective, in 2007 as a tribute to the daughter of a fellow officer who succumbed to a terminal illness.
The charity originally started with the goal of raising $10,000 per year for organizations such as Make-A-Wish and the Kennedy Krieger Institute.
After several successful campaigns, the charity became more formalized in 2011 as an IRS approved 501(c)(3) and a newly established Board of Directors, we refocused to fight the REAL MONSTERS of childhood illness, burns and breast cancer by helping families that are experiencing these extraordinary hardships cope with the financial burden by raising and providing $10,000 per sponsored family.
We are a 100% VOLUNTEER organization in order to maximize our supporters donations to those who need it!
Scares That Care News & Updates
Meet Our 2019 Sick Child Recipient
Ladies and Gentlemen – Cancer sucks. Relapsing FIVE TIMES is worse. Dealing with Neuroblastoma since he was five years old, Wes is a true example of a Warrior.
Wes’ prognosis is not very good. Recent news has come to the family, which is pretty devastating.
However – love always wins. Join me in welcoming Wes and his family to our Scares That Care Family as the sick child recipient for 2019.
Due to the seriousness of Wes’s condition, we presented his family with their 2019 check early. Your continued support made this possible! Please donate to continue helping families in need. 
Meet Our 2019 Breast Cancer Warrior
Hey Folks…going through life is hard. We all know that. Going through Breast Cancer, including chemo, partial mastectomy, radiation by yourself -is even harder. Losing your husband to Leukemia a few years before you battle this disease…is unthinkable. But Christine is a fighter. A warrior. A horror fan. And because all of this – we welcome her as our 2019 Breast Cancer recipient of our gift. Please welcome her to the family as I know you can!
