Started in 2005 to give a terminally-ill five-year-old one last Trick or Treat, Trick or Treat in the Heat has grown into a beloved memorial fundraiser supporting Hospice of Anchorage, Make-A-Wish Alaska & Washington, and the Seattle and Anchorage Ronald McDonald Houses.
Thanks to our amazing community, the 2025 event raised $87,105 (and still counting!) to help sick Alaskan children and their families.
Holding the event in early September lets kids enjoy their costumes without heavy cold-weather gear—something everyone who’s experienced late-October Alaskan Trick or Treat knows is a relief!
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who walked, volunteered, handed out candy, or purchased tickets—you made this milestone possible. If you’d like to continue supporting these causes, donate here: totith.org.

If you’d still like to support the charities we benefit—Hospice of Anchorage, Make-A-Wish Alaska & Washington, and the Seattle and Anchorage Ronald McDonald Houses—you can donate anytime here.
