Trick or Treat Street at UR October 31, 2009

Local children are in for a treat this Halloween as the University of Richmond’s Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Council and other campus organizations host the 11th annual Trick or Treat Street festival, Oct. 31, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. at the university’s Old Fraternity Row.

Since 1999, Trick or Treat Street has offered a fun and safe way for community children and families to spend the day as well as support a local charity. For the second year in a row, proceeds will benefit a liver transplant fund for Cole Hafer, a 4-year-old Richmond boy whose family and friends are raising money through the Children’s Organ Transplant Association. Though the association is a national foundation, Hafer has become the focus of the Richmond chapter’s efforts. With an increase in the overall donation goal from $40,000 to $60,000, Richmond area volunteers still hope to raise $30,000 to help pay for Hafer’s health procedures.
