A Note from our VP of Operations

Dear Valued Community Partner,

At Lake Joy Trails of Terror, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we turn screams into hope. Since 2009, our award-winning haunted attraction has raised vital funds through Trails of Hope and Haunters with a Heart, supporting children battling critical illnesses (like cancer and leukemia), special needs projects, and families in crisis. Recent examples include a $20,000 donation to help a local teen with medical bills and partnerships with Jay's Hope to bring relief, joy, and strength to those fighting hardest.

We're inviting your business to partner with us this season as a Trails of Hope sponsor:

Hope Starter – $750

Hope Builder – $2,000

Hope Illuminator – $3,500

Hope Champion – $5,000+ (Customizable)

Your support delivers strong brand exposure, logos on t-shirts, website, banners, social media shoutouts (reaching tens of thousands), VIP tickets, custom plaques, scare zone naming, and more, while making a profound difference: helping cover medical costs, creating accessible playgrounds, and giving families hope when they need it most.

Important Note for Sponsors:

As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, all sponsorship contributions, monetary or in-kind (such as merchandise, food, supplies, or services), are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by U.S. federal tax law. We'll provide a formal sponsorship acknowledgment letter and receipt for your records upon request. We happily customize packages to maximize your impact, recognition, and tax benefits.

Your partnership doesn't just sponsor an event—it champions hope, fuels healing, and lights the way for children and families in our community, all with the added advantage of being tax-deductible. Together, let's turn terror into triumph.

With sincere thanks,

Ron Jablonski

VP of Operations
