The Valley of Lincoln hosted a Trunk or Treat Halloween event for RiteCare kids on Friday, October 8th at the Scottish Rite.

Following UNMC guidelines, this was a socially distanced event, so families drove through the parking lot and participated in games right from their candy and kids got candy from Scottish Rite Masons, RiteCare Clinicians, and UNL Nebraska Student Speech-Language-Hearing Association (NSSLHA) students who also hosted games for the children.

About twenty cars came through the parking lot during the evening. Joni and Ed Bennett, 32° KCCH, Linda and Bruce Wood, 33°, Edward Boone, 32°, Nick Furchert, 32°, and Micah Evans, 33° hosted decorated cars along with RiteCare Clinicians Holly Schlautman and Suzie Budzinski, and the NSSLHA students.

It is important to have events suitable for children of all abilities, that include kids with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Trunk or treat is a fun event made to welcome all our RiteCare kids, and the excitement on their faces and the kids’ smiles are priceless,” RiteCare Clinician Holly Schlautman said.
