This year, Halloween will be spooky and sporty as families drive through the Pepsi Center Tundra parking lot on Oct. 30 for a “Trunk-or-Treat” event benefitting Special Olympics Young Athletes. Decorated cars and costumed volunteers will be onsite to provide pre-packaged candy, coloring sheets and assorted goodies as donors enjoy this unique fall festival.
This event is a fresh, COVID-19 friendly spin on Special Olympics’ annual Harvest Festival. As the novel coronavirus led to mandatory social distancing guidelines, Special Olympics knew it needed to pivot its fundraising efforts to be safe and fun for all. As a long-time Signature Community Partner, Kroenke Sports Charities offered to host a new version of the event—one that still offers fun games, handouts and snacks, but now also includes celebrities from all four teams of Kroenke Sports & Entertainment.
