We are beyond excited to share that this past season, the Black Mountain Haunted House was able to give back to the community in a truly meaningful way. Thanks to the overwhelming support of our visitors, volunteers, and sponsors, we donated $10,000 to the McNair Mental Health Unit at Kelowna General Hospital. 🏥❤️
How Your Support Made a Difference
This donation went directly towards improving the comfort and care of patients receiving mental health services at the new Ketamine Treatment Clinic. The funds provided:
- Weighted blankets to help patients feel secure and calm.
- Noise-cancelling headphones to assist those with sensory sensitivities.
- Comfortable pillows to create a restful environment.
- Furnishings that help transform the clinic into a more welcoming, home-like space.
These additions aim to reduce the clinical feel of the hospital and provide a more therapeutic environment, which can significantly impact patient well-being during treatment.
Supporting the Care Teams
In addition to enhancing patient care, part of the donation was used to purchase supplies for the dedicated nurses and staff who work tirelessly to support mental health patients. By investing in the well-being of these healthcare providers, we help ensure that they can continue delivering compassionate and effective care.
A Community Effort
This achievement would not have been possible without the collective effort of:
- Our incredible volunteers — from actors and set designers to guest services, construction teams, and parking attendants.
- Hillcrest Farm Market — for sponsoring our new and expanded location.
- You — our visitors who showed up in record numbers to experience our haunted house and make a difference.
Your ticket purchases, enthusiasm, and support allowed us to give back to a cause that is near and dear to our hearts.
We are so grateful for the opportunity to not only create thrilling experiences but also contribute to our community’s mental health services. Thank you for being part of this journey. We can’t wait to welcome you back next year for even more scares and support!
👻🖤 With Haunted Thanks,
The Black Mountain Haunted House Team
