Companies looking for a fun way to gain good public relations, advertise and also give back to the community will find a natural fit in participating as a Candy Crew at the 8^th Annual Halloween at the Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary. 

Candy Crews, consisting of two to four company representatives, provide candy for children at Halloween at the Heard (October 18, 6-10 p.m.) on our Dinosaur Trail of Treats, while dressed to represent your company—with a touch of Halloween flair. You can even distribute small goodies or promo items in the bags! There are no fees for Candy Crew Sponsorships; participating companies need only to provide the candy required for a trick-or-treat station. 

This event is attended by approximately 800 persons each year. Any companies interested in having an even greater presence at this event can purchase a vendor booth or event sponsorship. Vendors and sponsors will be able to hand out larger items, host a game/activity, sell merchandise, and even gather potential customers.

Proceeds from this Halloween at the Heard benefit Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary, a private 501(c)3 organization consisting of a 289 acre wildlife sanctuary and natural science museum. The Heard was founded in 1967 by Bessie Heard.  Miss Heard was 80 years old when she saw the need to preserve a place where future generations could experience nature. Today, the Heard’s mission of bringing nature and people together is carried out through education, particularly of young people, which emphasizes an appreciation of nature and its conservation.
