The air is crisp, the leaves are falling, and there’s a hint of excitement in the atmosphere. It’s that time of the year when ghouls and ghosts make their annual appearance, and neighborhoods come alive with the spirit of Halloween. But beyond the costumes and candy, there’s something else in the air – an overwhelming sense of community. And this year, from October 16th to the 31st, 2023, something extra special is brewing in neighborhoods across the country: “We’ve Been Booed” campaigns.
What Is the “We’ve Been Booed” Campaign?
The “We’ve Been Booed” campaign is a heartwarming community initiative that brings neighbors, friends, and families together to celebrate Halloween with a touch of surprise and delight. The concept is simple: secretly deliver a “We’ve Been Booed” sign, along with a sweet treat or goodie, to a neighbor’s doorstep. The catch? Do it anonymously and avoid getting caught on camera, so your neighbor has no idea who just “Booed” them. It’s a little act of kindness that sparks joy and connection in the most unexpected way.
How Does It Work?
Participating in a “We’ve Been Booed” campaign is both easy and fun. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Prepare Your “Boo”: Gather your supplies. Download the We’ve Been Booed” Flyers at hoa.com/impact and include a Halloween-themed treat or goody.
- Select Your Target: Choose a neighbor, friend, or family member you’d like to “Boo.” It could be someone you’re close to or someone you’d like to get to know better.
- Deliver the Surprise: Wait for a quiet evening, then, sneak over to your chosen recipient’s house. Place the “We’ve Been Booed” sign along with your treat on their doorstep.
- Stay Stealthy: The fun part is not getting caught! Try to avoid security cameras, doorbell cameras, or any other surveillance that might reveal your identity.
- Watch the Magic Unfold: As your target discovers their “Boo,” a sense of joy and intrigue will take over. The feeling of being “Booed” is contagious, and they’ll want to spread the kindness.
- Share the Joy: Encourage your “Booed” neighbor to keep the tradition going. As they place the sign and treat on another neighbor’s doorstep, the excitement will ripple through the community.
