Chicago Teens Turn Chase Park into Haunted House to Fund After-School Program

For the second year in a row, a group of Chicago teenagers has transformed Chase Park into a haunted house to raise funds for an after-school program. This year's event, which took place over the weekend, attracted a mix of thrill-seekers and community members eager to support local youth initiatives.

The haunted house, complete with haunted mazes, jump scares, and spooky decorations, was the brainchild of local teens who wanted to make a difference in their community. The event generated significant buzz and brought in more than $2,000, with the proceeds going towards funding the after-school program that provides educational and recreational activities for underprivileged children.

According to event organizers, the haunted house has not only raised crucial funds but also helped build a sense of community among the participants. 'It’s amazing to see how much the community comes together for a good cause,' said Alex, a senior at Lincoln Park High School who helped organize the event. 'We’re proud to use our talents and creativity to support our peers and future generations.'
