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.
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!
Thanks to our amazing community, the 2025 event raised over $87,105 to help sick Alaskan children and their families.
