Campus Corps volunteers from Dawson Community College, located in Glendive, MT decided to take full advantage of the most recent National Service Day's proximity to the Halloween holiday by constructing a "Haunted Hollow" for their Make a Difference Day service project. There was more to the event than just spooking the local community, however, (although I am sure there was a lot of that too!) as all of the proceeds from the event were donated to the local Relay for Life: one of the flagship fundraisers for the American Cancer Society.
About 20 volunteers came out to help and together they constructed several outdoor custom built scenes, each of which promised to instill fear into anyone that dared to pass through. Their many hours of hard work paid off, and the event attracted a large number of visitors to keep them busy with their scare tactics all day long. Raising an impressive $3,000 for a good cause, Glendive's Haunted Hollow was a great success and DCC’s Corps members have done a fine job of illustrating how we can make a difference in our communities while having a lot of fun in the process!
