Thank You, New Volunteers!

The SCARE for a CURE volunteer kick-off party was yesterday and it was a big success! It was a good combination of orientation session, haunted house career fair, and casting call. We had a large turnout of new volunteers and got lots of people signed up to work on construction, special effects, costuming, makeup, fund-raising, and countless other specialties that are critical to put on an event as ambitious as Blood Ritual. We also had a lot of people auditioning for acting roles, and the casting committee sure had things down to a science—it was a joy to watch. People would come in, get photographed and interviewed, read some lines for us, then get sent over to our costuming people to get their measurements taken. It was almost like we knew what we were doing!

Many thanks to all of our new volunteers, and also to all the old hands who helped to make this event a big success. We have a challenging build this year, so the more people who are willing to help us turn our vision into reality the better things will be.

We missed the Sunday Volunteer Call--can we still volunteer? Are there any small acting roles for kids left?

It's definitely not too late to volunteer, and there are still roles to be filled. There are several places in the script where we'll need quite a few bodies to help us achieve the desired effect, so contact us at volunteer@scareforacure.org and we'll get you signed up to receive the latest news!
