Each October, WWFC holds Halloween
Heroes, the ultimate trick or treat party. We create an indoor Halloween
wonderland for kids of all ages. The event is a ghoulishly good time
for all involved. At Halloween Heroes, we choose several athletes to
be our Honorary Chairpersons. Then, we invite over 30 professional Bay
Area athletes & media personalities to join the event as our Celebrity
Heroes. With food and beverages donated by top Bay Area restaurants,
a fabulous silent auction, trick or treat booths, arts & crafts
including mini pumpkin decorating, face painting, Exploratorium led
hands on science and art activities, and more, as well as Bay Area team
mascots and Halloween costumed characters roaming our party, there is
something for everyone.

Trick or Treat Stations
Each year, we pick a charity or
two to serve as our beneficiaries, and we donate a portion of the net
proceeds to the chosen non-profit(s). This year, we are thrilled to
be raising funds and awareness for the Junior
Giants Baseball Program and the Exploratorium's
Children's Educational Outreach Program. The fundraising success
of Halloween Heroes is due to the partnerships among our Sponsor Heroes,
Celebrity Heroes, In Kind Heroes, volunteers, community leaders and
more. Together, we are able to make a true difference in the lives of
abused & neglected children in the Bay Area.
JUNIOR
GIANTS BASEBALL
Junior Giants Baseball, the flagship program of the Giants Community
Fund, is a free and non-competitive youth baseball program for over
13,000 youth in Northern California, Nevada, and Oregon. The program
provides self-esteem and values training, along with baseball equipment,
uniforms, and instructional service, to boys and girls 5-18 years old
in underserved communities. Over the years, the Junior Giants baseball
program has grown to more than 70 communities across three states, featuring
13,000 participants on over 750 teams.
EXPLORATORIUM
CHILDREN’S EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH PROGRAM
The Children’s Educational Outreach program takes the Exploratorium
experience outside the walls of the museum and into the community. Making
science and math exciting and accessible to underserved youth in a fun,
encouraging, and informal atmosphere is the priority. Outreach delivers
these invaluable services to more than 5,000 K-12 students and their
families annually, strengthening and extending the work of existing
in-school, after-school, and community service programs in low-income
neighborhoods.
WWFC is offering Exploratorium
members discounted ticketing to attend Halloween Heroes. Adults will
receive $20 off of their ticket price while children will receive a
$10 discount. Please click the "buy tix" link and look
for the ticket option for Exploratorium members, or send us an e-mail
at info@wenderweis.org.
WWFC
has held Halloween Heroes every year since 1996, with the exception
of 2000.
