A Call For Help From "Scares That Care" (PR)



Once again PromoteHorror.com is calling on the horror community to help out a charity. Please read the following press release from “Scares That Care,” and do what you can to help support these families. At a minimum, please pass this promotion on to others, especially those who you can help this great charity! Thank you!

Scares That Care! Unites horror fans in 2012 to assist three families in need.

"Scares That Care!", an IRS approved 501(c)(3) charity, has designated a goal of raising $30,000 in 2012 to assist three families. "Scares That Care!" was originally founded to help sick children, but based on the support of the horror community has developed two additional programs to provide much needed support.

These two subsidiary programs - consisting of “Scares For Pairs,” where we help women fighting breast cancer, and the “I Helped Kane” program. This program provides assistance to children who have suffered serious burn injuries. We have partnered with horror icon Kane Hodder, to create this special program.

We have selected three families to assist in 2012, one for each program, We are hoping to raise $10,000 for each family.

Draven, who was born in July 2008 with hypo-plastic left heart syndrome – a severe heart defect where both chambers on the left side are under developed and do not pump blood. He needs a heart transplant, and your support for this brave little guy would be appreciated!

Madelyn, who has been battling Breast Cancer for the past two years. She is very brave in the face of her illness, but could still very much use your support.

Tripp and his father, who both suffered burns on over seventy percent of their bodies in a house fire. They have lost EVERYTHING on top of their horrific injuries, and ANY help for them is a blessing.

These families need our help - and the support of the horror community in general. Think about it...the financial and physical tolls they have endured have been tremendous.  Lets come together and try to ease their pain, if only slightly, and let's show them that we - as horror fans and human beings - CARE.

If you have a few minutes to spare please check out our online shop, and know that 100% of all donations and proceeds go towards helping these families.  You may choose which family you would like to help, or split your purchase between them all, that decision we leave to you.
