Macaroni KID Jefferson City recently celebrated its inaugural BOO Baskets event, bringing joy and community spirit to local families this Halloween season. Thanks to generous contributions from local business sponsors, the event was a resounding success, filled with fun surprises for families throughout the area.
Families had the opportunity to nominate themselves or others for a BOO Basket, creating a sense of excitement and anticipation. Macaroni KID Jefferson City conducted a random draw, selecting 50 families to receive these delightful treats. Each BOO Basket was thoughtfully filled with festive goodies, designed to spread cheer and celebration. BOO Baskets included Halloween favors, popcorn, sensory toys, a plushie, a color changing cup, fiberoptic toy and flashlight, a Strikers giftcard for arcade play + activity and coloring pages.
In a delightful twist, when the BOO Baskets were delivered, each selected family received not one, but two baskets. This unique approach encouraged recipients to "pay it forward" by surprising another local family with a BOO Basket of their own. As a result, a total of 100 families were "BOOed," fostering a spirit of kindness and community connection.
