Youngsters arrived in costumes for last year’s Trunk or Treat.
Members of the Penn Manor High School (PMHS) Mini-THON club will host a Trunk or Treat event on Monday, Oct. 30, from 6 to 7 p.m. in the school’s athletic parking lot, which is located at 100 E. Cottage Ave., Millersville. In the case of inclement weather, the event will be moved inside the school gymnasium. Students representing various clubs and sports teams will participate in the Trunk or Treat by handing out sweets to youngsters, who are encouraged to wear costumes and bring their own bags.
The volunteers will also accept monetary donations from parents and guardians, and all proceeds from the event will benefit Four Diamonds at the Penn State Health Children’s Hospital. Last year, PMHS’ Mini-THON club held its first Trunk or Treat to raise awareness for Four Diamonds in addition to raising money for the hospital. Members of the community responded to the first event with a wave of support; students received more donations than they anticipated, prompting the return of the fundraiser this year. “We wanted to find a new way to promote Four Diamonds,” said See Trunk or Treat pg 5
