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!

Come join your favorite family for a night of dinner, dancing and giving back! Join the “Scares That Care – Ghosts Of Christmas Presents,” as we celebrate the holiday with our friendship and love of giving back!

Enjoy a buffet style menu including grilled sirloin, herb grilled chicken or salmon fillet, vegetables, mashed potatoes and dessert. Water, coffee and sweet tea is included. Cash bar is available.
This is a family-friendly event, so children are welcome. Kids menu is chicken tenders, mac and cheese, apple sauce and apple juice.
Bring your toy donations! We will be selecting a family (or two) in need to join us for this dinner, and then surprising them with toys for their children. Can you imagine a better gift at the holidays?
DRESS – You may dress up in fine clothes, you can come in your favorite “ugly sweater” and sweatpants. You can come in costume. Your presence is our present, so you attending is more important than what you wear!
A “Christmas Bizzare” Silent Auction, and other fun things to do!
PLEASE NOTE – This is a dinner and dance. There will not be any celebrities in attendance.
