Haunted House helps the community


Our club put together the biggest hanted house that the Walla Walla valley has seen in decades, rivaling the famed JC events! We want to thank every single person that assisted with this fundraiser and community service event from the hands within the club to the assistance from private members outside the club! We want to thank the many local businesses for coming together and providing many of the items we needed to put this haunted house on and making the community that much closer!

We saw nearly 2,000 people come through our dreary doors and most of them had the courage to finish the spooky maze of maniacal madness! Each of our 20 scenes were widely discussed, often while the victim was watching behind them to ensure that nothing was coming after them!

With this 2,000 people, PBL managed to raise quite a bit of money. After paying for the debts incurred on this event and providing a small amount to the club for future events, PBL found themselves dividing up $8,000 to the following causes (which was approved by the club in this morning's meeting):

$2,000 - College scholarships for business students within our community college
$1,500 - Literacy programs in our elementary schools
$500 - divided to 10 families in difficult situations for a better Christmas.

The companies that helped were many and each provided assistance to getting our haunted house off the ground in some manner or another. These companies are listed here:

Temple of Terror! PBL's haunted house event


Thanks to everyone in the club for the support and assistance in getting this project off the ground, it is a short amount of time to get it set up but there are so many dedicated people working on this project that it is coming along amazingly well!

For anybody interested in assisting in the setup of this project, every weekday after 1:30pm, the doors are open and there is someone there willing to put you to work! Additionally, on the weekends, usually after 1pm are a safe bet to get some work time in.

The plastic for barriers are scheduled to be in on Monday and we will really get to rockin' and rollin' once that is set up! Until then, we could use people that are handy with constructing minor props (like tables and such). We are also looking for ANY crazy donations to make this fright fest really POP!
