In the heart of Sparks, Nevada, a haunting spectacle is set to unfold, all in the name of a noble cause. The Ambush Haunted House, a long-standing tradition, is once again opening its doors to the community, with the Northern Nevada Children's Cancer Foundation (NNCCF) as the beneficiary. This annual event not only promises chills and thrills but also serves as a powerful platform to raise funds and awareness for childhood cancer.
Unleashing the Spooky Spirit for a Worthy Cause
A Haunting Tradition with a Purpose
For the past several years, the Ambush Haunted House has been a beloved fixture in the Reno-Sparks community, captivating visitors with its spine-tingling displays and immersive experiences. What sets this haunted house apart, however, is its unwavering commitment to supporting a cause that hits close to home – the fight against childhood cancer. The Grubbs, the homeowners behind this haunting endeavor, have taken it upon themselves to create and manage the haunted house, pouring their hearts and souls into the project to ensure its success.Transforming Fear into Funds for Families in Need
While the Ambush Haunted House is free to attend, the organizers strongly encourage visitors to make a donation to the NNCCF. These contributions play a vital role in the foundation's mission of supporting local families impacted by a childhood cancer diagnosis. The Grubbs and the NNCCF team understand the immense challenges these families face, both emotionally and financially, and they are committed to providing the resources and support they need during these difficult times.Amplifying the Impact through Matching Funds
The Ambush Haunted House is part of the NNCCF's "Know the Gold" campaign, a six-month-long initiative aimed at raising funds and awareness for childhood cancer. The campaign has received a significant boost, thanks to the William N. Pennington Foundation, which has pledged to match every dollar donated to the NNCCF, up to a staggering $775,000. This means that every contribution made during the campaign period will be doubled, effectively doubling the impact on the lives of local children and their families.A Haunting Spectacle with a Heart

From the intricate set designs to the chilling performances, the Ambush Haunted House is a true labor of love, with the sole purpose of supporting those in need.A Haunting Opportunity to Make a Difference
