Macaroni KID Needham–Wellesley–Dedham is bringing a little Halloween magic to our community with 100 FREE BOO Bags filled with treats, goodies, and surprises from our generous sponsors!
Sign up using our registration form HERE. Complete your entry with your full mailing address by October 11. Recipients will be selected randomly from eligible entries, so registration does not guarantee a bag.
BOO Bags will be delivered to selected households in Needham, Wellesley, and Dedham between October 13 and 26. Each household will receive one filled BOO Bag. Inside, families can look forward to a mix of sweet treats, fun goodies, samples, and offers from participating businesses. Contents will vary, but every bag is being put together with plenty of community spirit!
“We’re so excited to bring a little Halloween magic to families in Needham, Wellesley, and Dedham,” said Macaroni KID Publisher Kate Rushford. “These BOO Bags are all about surprising neighbors, spreading smiles, and inspiring families to pass the kindness along. We’re grateful to our generous sponsors for helping make it happen!”
A special thank-you to our Lead Great Pumpkin Sponsor, Penguin Coding School, including its new Wellesley location, for helping bring this celebration to local families!
We’re also grateful to our participating sponsors and contributors: Sugar Lane Cookie Co., Goldfish Swim School, Playa Bowls Wellesley, Pine Village Preschool, Stepping Stone Studios, Ann Clark Ltd., Something Sweet, Kristen Crowley | Remote Family Support, Homemade, Ellie Fund, Plus-Plus, Hey Sunday, Puppet Showplace Theater, That’s it, World of Hurt and BECAUSE I ROCK, along with everyone helping fill these bags with surprises.
