GameWorks Distributing Free Glow Sticks To Keep Kids Safe on Halloween

GameWorks, Inc., a full entertainment and dining experience for millennials, teens and families with seven locations nationwide, announced today that it is donating approximately 20,000 glow sticks to help keep children safe and visible this Halloween.

The glow sticks are being distributed to local law enforcement agencies, schools, events and community centers and programs in preparation for Halloween throughout the seven markets GameWorks serves nationwide.

In addition, for those that choose to spend Halloween at a GameWorks venue, double tickets will be offered all day, meaning guests have the opportunity to earn redemption prizes much faster. Additionally, kids can eat free from 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM.

“Community service is an important corporatewide initiative at GameWorks, and this glow stick giveaway is another example of how important our local guests are to us and how we strive to positively impact the communities in which we operate. The glow sticks are designed to help illuminate and identify children at night to aid in keeping them safe and visible,” noted Philip Kaplan, chief executive officer at GameWorks.

“At GameWorks, we are all about fun. By distributing glow sticks throughout the communities we serve, we are helping ensure children have a fun night while they trick or treat safely in their local neighborhoods. If our guests choose to visit GameWorks anytime on Halloween, they can also enjoy special offers and promotions while remaining safe indoors,” Kaplan said.
