Mallwalk 2025
The South Dakota Ghostbusters proudly supported LifeScape and the MallWalk once again for 2025. We believe in making a difference for local children and adults with disabilities.

Over two days, more than 8,500 people came out to celebrate Halloween at the annual ZooBoo event. We brought spooky fun and smiles to families as they trick-or-treated through the zoo, met characters, and enjoyed festive activities, all while supporting the zoo’s mission of conservation and education.
Spooky Science at the Washington Pavilion, October 25th
We brought interactive Ghostbusters-themed science activities to Spooky Science, helping spark curiosity and excitement for STEM among kids and families. Guests explored hands-on experiments, learned about the science behind the spooky, and helped support the Washington Pavilion’s mission to promote education through fun and discovery.
Lunch Is Served Volunteer Event October 27th
We volunteered with Lunch Is Served to help provide nutritious meals for working individuals in our community. By packing lunches that offer dignity and support to those in need, we continue our mission of giving back in meaningful, local ways that make a real impact.
Community Impact Highlight
Spooky Science hosted by the Washington Pavilion, over 1,600 guests came out to explore STEM, learn, laugh, and get hands-on with our interactive Ghostbusters exhibits.
And here’s what the Pavilion had to say:
“We had over 1600 guests in attendance, and I heard nothing but good things about all your fun activities and engaging team members. Thank you for your part in making this one of the most smooth-running Spooky Sciences we’ve had, and for making it such a fun day!” – Cathy Meier, Washington Pavilion
This is why we do what we do. Not for attention. Not for photo ops. But to deliver real value to our partners and make science, creativity, and imagination come alive for families right here in the Sioux Empire.
“Thank you so much for being part of the Heart Walk again this year. We appreciate you being at the event and the kids love it as well.”
— Tammy Beintema, Development Director, American Heart Association
