Rotten Apple 907 is proud to be a non-profit event! Each year we choose a charity and accept donations , 100% of which go to the charity. We do not keep any part of your donations to pay for the expenses of building and running our haunted attraction. We spend a lot of time and money producing this free event each year and all we ask is that you consider making a donation to the charity.

Spark of Love

How did it start? - Impressed by the pioneer efforts of Major Bill Hendricks, and yet aware of unmet needs, the Los Angeles Fire Department and LAFD SERTOMA Club started a local "Toys For Needy Children" program in 1976. The program was an enormous success. In 1992, a cooperative decision was made to develop a regional toy drive among Southern California Fire Departments. An advisory council of Firefighters and staff from KABC-TV now oversee what is known as the "Spark of Love" Toy Drive. Through your generosity, Spark of Love provides a new unwrapped toy or sporting good to a child who would otherwise go without a gift this holiday season. Spark of Love works in concert - not in competition - with other charitable programs to fulfill the dreams of needy Southern California children. Recipients are identified in advance by established community and child service organizations. Families experiencing a sudden catastrophic loss are also aided by Spark of Love. When possible, the local Fire Station crew (occasionally accompanied by Santa Claus) makes a discreet and dignified special delivery to these deserving children. Firefighters distribute toys - and more to thousands of needy children each year! The hands-on interaction made possible by Spark of Love provides a positive role model for children, builds goodwill within our community, and allows Firefighters the opportunity to reinforce important life safety practices during the holiday season.
