Trunk or Treat 2019
Trunk or Treat 2019
The Santa Barbara City College Athletics Department and Our Mesa Neighborhood (OMNI)
will be hosting a Fall Fest Trunk or Treat event for children of Santa Barbara and
the SBCC community on Friday, Oct. 25, 2019. The event will be held on the Great Meadow
on SBCC's West Campus on Cliff Drive from 5 to 7 p.m.
"As a community college, we feel it is very important to give back to the local community.
This has been a fun event for the kids the past two years and it's fantastic that
our student-athletes can benefit from this community service activity," said Athletic
Director Rocco Constantino.
This year, SBCC has partnered with OMNI to expand the event to include live music,
food, games and a costume contest.
"I have been so thrilled to work with OMNI as we continue to find ways to make this
event more enjoyable for the community," said Constantino. "OMNI had run a very successful
Fall Fest around the same time as our Trunk or Treat event and Teri Jory, the President
of OMNI, has been fantastic to work with. We've been having conversations for months
about this and I'm really excited to see the final product of our work."
The event is best described as a tailgate party mixed with trick-or-treating and is
geared toward kids under the age of 13. Cars will be set up in the parking lot, decorated
in Halloween themes. Kids can then go trick-or-treating at each car, much the same
way they would go trick-or-treating door-to-door.
Admission to the event and all accompanying activities will be free of charge. Parking
will be available at the Cliff Drive entrance on West Campus and in Lot C below the
lawn.
"We really believe that we have a great platform for community outreach as an athletics
department," said Constantino. "Our goal is to provide families with a memorable experience
while also teaching our student-athletes the value of community service."
