Why Sponsor Spooky Hollow?

Spooky Hollow at Hawthorn Hollow Nature Sanctuary is a beloved fall tradition that brings families together for a fun, not-too-scary outdoor experience. Sponsoring Spooky Hollow connects your business with a highly attended two-night community event while directly supporting Hawthorn Hollow’s mission of environmental education, habitat restoration, and access to nature for all.

Sponsors receive meaningful brand visibility through event signage, digital and print marketing, and on-site recognition, while building positive relationships with local families and community members. Your support helps create lasting memories, strengthens community connections, and demonstrates your commitment to giving back to the place we all call home.

 We’d love to showcase your support!
