 Charity Organizations, Events & Information

American Cancer Society

The Suncoast Ghostbusters work to raise money throughout the year to benefit the American Cancer Society. This typically begins in the Fall and ends in Spring with the Relay For Life in Largo, Florida. The Relay is an incredible event that celebrates cancer survivors, remembers those we have lost, and continues the battle against the disease with on site fundraising and support.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
Our team also raises funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society from April until the Light The Night Walk in October. The Walk is always a great experience and our team is proud to participate. For more information visit these links:

Stars of Hope at Regal Cinemas
During the summer we can be found at Park Place Stadium 16 Regal Cinemas in Parkside Mall for the Stars of Hope program. For a donation you can get your picture taken with our team or other costuming groups such as the 501st Legion or Heroes Alliance. But beware, the Suncoast GBs are also known to invade theaters before the movie starts in pursuit of ectoplasmic entities. Of course, hilarity ensues and funds are collected. Stars of Hope benefits the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Variety - The Children's Charity, The Will Rogers Foundation, American Red Cross, and many others.

MUCH Foundation
The Makers United for Children's Hope Foundation dials up the Suncoast Ghostbusters whenever they need some blue collar heroes to mix it up at their events. From their website: "The Mission of the M.U.C.H. foundation is to help children and Families get through some of their most trying times. Through our Hospital, charitable, military and home visitation programs we identify the areas of personal need and assist children and families to help change their lives during their struggle with disease, financial hardship or disability. 'Because Children Deserve So M.U.C.H. More'"

All Children's Hospital
From their website: "All Children’s Hospital Johns Hopkins Medicine provides expert pediatric care for infants, children and teens with some of the most challenging medical problems in our community and around the world." The Suncoast Ghostbusters are among the costumed groups invited to visit All Children's and entertain the patients in their rooms. The experience continues to be as rewarding for us as it is fun.
