The B Fund Kicks off Fifth Annual Halloween Candy Drive

October 30, 2017 by thebfund

Calling all ghosts and goblins! It’s time to use your Halloween treats to give back to families in need!

WHAT: The B Fund’s 5th Annual Halloween Candy Drive, a weeklong initiative aiming to inspire kids of all ages to make a difference by sharing their Halloween sweets with families in need. The B Fund will donate $0.25* to Boston Children’s Hospital and Team Impact for each piece of candy donated from a child’s personal stash *(up to $25,000). To date, our drive has inspired over 6,890 individuals to donate over 135,298 pieces of Halloween Candy.

Some kids have a hard time understanding the value of a nickel or dime. Now, if you ask your child the value of a Twizzler or a chocolate candy bar, their eyes may light up as if they uncovered a pot of gold. The B Fund believes a child’s candy is gold and feels this activity is a simple way to empower kids and teach them that giving up a few pieces of their candy will shine a light on families in need.”

-Kathleen VanDernoot, Founder
