You’re invited to our annual Ghost Party!
With Halloween coming
“Ghosts” are the theme.
Donations are requested
but no one will be seen.
Clever costumes and masks
should be no fear.
It’s the party of the year
where you don’t have to appear!
Please “join” us by supporting our student leadership programs through a generous contribution to the Jim Burke Education Foundation.
Donate Online Today
All donations received by Halloween Day will be entered into a sweepstakes drawing for 2 round-trip, coach airline tickets from LAX to anywhere in the continental United States, courtesy of Uniglobe Golden Empire Travel.
Thanks for "joining" us!
Thank you to all who “attended” our 2025 Ghost Party and made it a success! Because of your generosity, $81,321 was raised for youth in Kern County.
