Michigan’s largest immersive and illuminated forest experience, Glenlore Trails, known for creating over-the-top themed walk-thru nighttime forest experiences, has announced that Detroit-based Jay’s Juniors is their charitable partner. This year’s fall themed experience, “CarnEvil 2,” opens on Friday, September 18th and runs through November 1st and will help benefit Jay’s Juniors throughout the event season.
Friday, October 9th has been designated “Jay’s Juniors Day,”
where a portion of proceeds from that day will benefit Jay’s Juniors, a program that provides unforgettable experiences for children battling severe health conditions and their families. Additionally, as the charitable partner, all online ticket sales for the entire event season will give guests the option to donate to Jay’s Juniors, furthering the opportunity to help support local children with life-altering and life-threatening conditions.
Jay’s Juniors was founded in 2014 with the mission to provide a fun-filled environment for these brave children and some time away from the harsh realities of doctors’ visits, treatments, and long hospital stays. Each year Jay’s Juniors takes a group of children, along with their families, fills an entire airplane, and heads to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. They are provided with an all-expense paid trip including airfare, airport parking, hotel rooms at the Disney resorts, park admission tickets and activations, ground transportation, food, spending money, and most importantly, happiness and memories for each member of the family.
Glenlore Trails is a nighttime experience for all ages and is powered by Michigan-based Bluewater Technologies,
one of the most trusted event staging and AV integrators in the country. This completely transformed one-mile forest trail is illuminated with lights blending technology with nature and a magical hands-on adventure, transforming the trail into a family-friendly Halloween experience where the forest becomes the midway. Guests journey beneath the stars through a fully transformed woodland filled with glowing installations, carnival inspired games, interactive moments, and unexpected immersive surprises waiting around every turn.
