Scary, real tales featured by Lighthouse

Advertiser Staff

The Lighthouse Outreach Program is using a Halloween theme tonight to send teens messages of what to beware of when making life decisions.

Instead of ghosts and ghouls, the Lighthouse is substituting teeenage cheerleaders getting abortions, drug use, suicide and alcohol abuse of a family member who drinks and drives, killing his family.

The Outreach Center's "hell house," called "The Battle of the Champions," will portray scenes of what youth and families are facing today, the Center said in a news release.

Booths with games, candies and food will also be provided.

For more information about the center, visit www.lighthouseoutreachcenter.org.

The Outreach Center is located at 94-230 Leokane St. in Waipahu. The gates open at 7 p.m. and will close at midnight.
