Thornwell Halloween Carnival

The carnival is going to be Friday, October 30 from 4-6pm!

Every year the Thornwell Home for Children across the street from the main campus has a halloween carnival for all the kids. The carnival consists of a bunch of tables set up with games for them to play to win candy and small prizes! This is a great opportunity to put smiles on the children's faces and volunteer with the community. 

The volunteer work will mainly consist of working the games and helping with set up and clean up. The Carnival lasts from 4 to 6pm on October 30th. It will be located in front of Springs on main campus (the same place it was last year for those of you who were there). You do not have to stay for the whole time but we ask that you stay for at least an hour so that you get your non pharmacy related service hour for the year.
