Not-So-Scary Halloween Party to take place on October 25
Looking for a safe, indoor, Halloween party tailored for kids 12 and under? Dress up in your favorite costume and join in on our spook-tacular Halloween bash as the NH Sportsplex in Bedford comes alive on October 25th, from 5 to 9pm. You’ll soon discover all the not-so-scary tricks & treats that will await every ghoul and boy. From laser tag with Captain Jack Sparrow, to a guided trick–or-treating scavenger hunt with villainous villains and beautiful princesses…we’ll have you howling for more!
The event benefits the OPTN Foundation’s mission for finding a cure for Batten disease. This fatal neurodegenerative disease afflicts several area children, including Bedford’s own 10 year old Nicholas Dainiak.
Our Promise to Nicholas Foundation was founded in 2009 after Nicholas was diagnosed with Batten disease. This rare, incurable genetic disorder affects an estimated two to four children in every 1000,000 born in the United States. Nicholas’ parents, Chris and Heather, promised him they would work tirelessly to find a cure for this disease, which will sadly rob him of his childhood and ultimately his life.
