🎃 Looking for Sponsors for the 2023 Macaroni KID Halloween Boo Bags

Let's continue the tradition in Southern PG County!

By Nakeisha Martinez, Macaroni Kid Southern PG County MD Publisher September 15, 2023

Macaroni KID Southern PG County loves local fun, so we're going to spread some Halloween cheer in the community this year with Boo Bags.  

We need your help!

Macaroni KID has an annual BOO Bag/Basket tradition. Halloween is right around the corner and it is my goal to find local sponsors to help execute this tradition. Local families in Southern PG County will receive 100 BOO Baskets. Each basket is filled with candy and Halloween goodies to bring smiles and Halloween cheer to the neighborhood children. Each family who receives a basket will be asked to pay it forward and make their own version of a Boo Basket and Boo their neighbor or a friend. This hopefully will start a BOO Basket chain reaction.

Stay tuned for more details on signing up, but first, I need to connect with local businesses to help make this happen!

🎃 Help us spread some local Halloween fun and promote your business! 🎃


What are Boo Bags?

100 local families will get “boo'd” with a bag full of Halloween goodies, including materials from local businesses, on their doorstep. Our volunteers will deliver the Boo Bag but the fun doesn’t stop there. Those families who’ve been “boo’d” will print out the flyer we’ve created and continue to pay it forward to other families. 

This event spreads lots of community fun and it will help spread your business throughout our community in a very fun way!


How will it benefit your business?

  • Reach your TARGET AUDIENCE of local moms. The kids will be so excited about each item, and the moms will be curious about where it all came from.
  • Your logo will appear on the flyer that accompanies each Boo Bag, bringing your business directly into at least 100 local homes. But we anticipate the Boo-ing will spread much further than these initial families, and they’ll be printing out the flyer with your logo too. 
  • Receive 4+ weeks of promotion – with approximately 4,000 emails sent over the course of promotion for your business
  • We'll do all the work – and you’ll get the credit as one of our sponsors! 
  • We’re going to do an all-out boo bag blitz on social media in the community, and we’ll include your business

PLEASE NOTE: The Boo Bags will be delivered in mid-October, so any items you provide for the bags will need to be supplied no later than October 7th. Sponsorship opportunities are first-come, first-served.
