Make An Impact
Why Become a Sponsor
Our Haunted House started in 2010 as a gift to our community — a place where neighbors could gather, laugh, and share in the magic of Halloween. Over the years, it grew from one yard to two, drawing nearly 5,000 visitors each season. We never charged admission and never even accepted donations.
Everything changed in 2023 when our only son, Nik, tragically passed away in a motor vehicle accident. While our first instinct was to stop, we realized we could honor Nik by continuing the Haunted House — not just as a celebration, but as a way to give back. We became a nonprofit, committed to keeping the haunt free for everyone while raising funds for scholarships in his memory.
Today, we proudly fund scholarships at both UTSA and Alamo City Community Colleges, helping students achieve their dreams. Sponsorships make this possible. When you become a sponsor, you’re not just supporting a Halloween tradition; you are investing in local students, strengthening our community, and helping continue Nik’s legacy.
Your business will be recognized and appreciated by thousands of visitors, while making a tangible difference in the lives of young people. Together, we can keep growing our scholarship in honor of our son.
