Charities

SCARE for a CURE is a non-profit organization. Net proceeds from the sale of tickets to our Austin haunted house and of SCARE merchandise are used to raise funds for charity.

2010 Charity Partner

We are excited that proceeds for 2010 will again benefit the Breast Cancer Resource Centers of Texas (BCRC), a non-profit, grassroots organization created by breast cancer survivors.

BCRC is a centralized source for breast cancer information, education and support. The BCRC and its five certified Patient Navigators serve women with breast cancer, their families, spouses, partners and friends; women who have questions about screening and biopsy; and others who are concerned about breast cancer issues. The organization's goal is to help the woman and her support system create an effective, positive and practical team approach to this diagnosis. BCRC provides support from diagnosis through treatment and beyond.

As SCARE for a CURE's charity partner, BCRC volunteers will participate in production of the haunt by feeding build crews and helping out on performance nights.

5x5

For 2010, SCARE for a CURE is introducing its 5x5 Initiative, where volunteers will vote to choose five additional local organizations to receive $500 donations.

Past Charities

Past beneficiaries have included the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the Breast Cancer Resource Centers of Texas, and The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. Proceeds from SCARE 2008 funded scholarships for college-bound students whose educational plans were affected by cancer.
