A Night of Frights and Delights: The Okeechobee Halloween Extravaganza

A Celebration That Gives Back

The spirit of Halloween is about more than just scares and candy; it's a time for communities to come together and celebrate in a way that's safe and inclusive. This year, the DeBerard Family Foundation and United Way of St. Lucie & Okeechobee are elevating this spirit to new heights with the Okeechobee Halloween Extravaganza. Scheduled for October 31 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Okeechobee Agri-Civic Center, this event is more than just a gathering; it's a beacon of community solidarity and support.

What sets this extravaganza apart is not just the fun and festivities but its heartfelt mission. The event directly benefits Healthy Start of Okeechobee, an organization dedicated to providing essential services to children and families in need. In a time where community health and wellness are more important than ever, supporting such causes is not just beneficial; it's vital.

Joining Hands for a Cause

The DeBerard Family Foundation, known for its commitment to strengthening family, youth, and community wellness, finds a perfect partner in the United Way of St. Lucie & Okeechobee. Together, they're inviting the community to partake in an evening of seasonal fun, with trick-or-treat booths and community involvement at its core. This partnership exemplifies how collaboration can amplify the impact of charitable endeavors, creating a ripple effect of positivity and support throughout the community.

The involvement of local businesses and organizations as sponsors and booth vendors further highlights the community's collective effort in making this event a success. Companies like Lake & Trail USA, Wawa, Nunez Air Conditioning, and others have stepped up to show their support, embodying the true spirit of giving back. It's a reminder that when a community comes together, the possibilities are endless.

How You Can Participate

For those looking to be a part of this festive and meaningful event, opportunities abound. The call for additional booth vendors is open, inviting local businesses and organizations to set up a free booth and pass out candy, making for an unforgettable night for the little ones. Moreover, sponsorship opportunities are still available for those who wish to contribute to this cause on a larger scale.

The DeBerard Family Foundation and Philip DeBerard Injury Attorney, with their long history of community service, are proud to lead this initiative. Their dedication to the well-being of Okeechobee and the surrounding regions shines through in this event, promising not only a night of joy and celebration but a step forward in community wellness and support.

As we look forward to the Okeechobee Halloween Extravaganza, it's heartening to see such a vibrant display of community spirit and generosity. It's events like these that remind us of the power of coming together for the common good, celebrating life's joys while supporting those in need. So mark your calendars for October 31, and let's make this Halloween a memorable one for both the young and the young at heart.
