Each year, approximately 12,500 American children and adolescents-the equivalent of two average size classrooms each school day-are diagnosed with cancer.*

You can make a difference.

This Halloween, Dearborn Market in Holmdel will be sponsoring Carve out a Smile, a fundraising event to help improve the lives of children and their families suffering from cancer.

On Saturday, October 25th and Sunday, October 26th come to our Dearborn Market, make a $10.00 donation and Enter to Win our Carve out a Smile contest. Carving will take place from 10am to 4pm on both days. Your entire $10.00 will be donated to The Frances Foundation for Kids, a local organization improving the lives of children with cancer.

You will receive a pre-scooped out carving pumpkin and carving tool. Carve us your best design and you could win a $50.00 Dearborn Gift Card as 1st prize. 2nd and 3rd prizes will also be awarded. Prizes will be awarded in the following age categories:

• Ages 8 to 10**
• Ages 11 to 15**
• Ages 16 to 20**
• Ages 21 to 101

ALL completed pumpkins will be displayed on our “Jack-O-Lantern Wall” during the last week of October before Halloween and illuminated at night for all to see.

We hope you’ll make a difference.

Space is limited so please call 732-264-0256 to pre-register for this contest. Walk-ups will be taken on the two days of the contest space permitting. Carving will take place rain or shine in our Greenhouse.
