The BOO Yard Sign Challenge

 

The BOO Yard Sign Challenge, sponsored by Advancial, takes simple neighborhood trickery to a community fundraiser. BOO your friends and neighbors by secretly leaving the sign in their yards and Halloween treats at their doorsteps without them seeing you.

For every sign purchased, proceeds benefit Children’s Health and a patient will receive a treat.

Signs are on sale online for $20 each and available for pickup starting on Sept. 7. Your signs can be picked up from neighborhood captains across Dallas and Plano. Find your closest location during checkout by searching the zip code of your home, work or school address, then select a pickup date and time.

When you BOO your neighbors, instructions on how to join the fun are on the back of every sign.
