Canon Beazley's family runs a haunted house fundraiser for the IWK each year at 153 Lindenwood Terrace.

This year we are offering a team night. Teams (sports, businesses, clubs)   can sign up to get a scheduled time to go through. They must raise/donate a minimum of 250.00/team (approx 10/person if you count staff/parents).

The Dartmouth U15B Team  will make the House of Doom Live- taking roles in the house which involve- pulleys, spider dropping, jump scares, fog machine filling etc.

We will also need players for approx 30 minutes over the next week or so to teach the roles in bringing the haunt to life

Please Share the event with friends and on social media: If we are successful in booking 12 teams, our team will raise 1000.00 for our team and the rest to IWK
