You've Been Booed Baskets


Boo-ing is a fun Halloween tradition where someone secretly places a gift on your porch for you. 

Want to surprise your kiddo with a special Halloween treat? 

Purchase one of our fab "boo" lous baskets full of Halloween-themed goodies. 

Order by October 18th on the LMSPA website - $20 a basket.

Baskets will be delivered by LMSPA volunteers and left at your door to surprise your child/children. 

Don't worry we'll let parents know so you can capture that special moment with a photo or video.
