Because
We Care
​The Pataskala Haunted Forest has been a haunted attraction dating back to 1989 in Pataskala. The haunt is completely operated by volunteers. All the profits made directly go to the Lions Club of Pataskala Charitable Foundation to fund our Lions service projects and community events. In addition to a new partnership with the Pickerington Lions Club and our local Scouts, the Pataskala Lions Club directly provides support to Southwest Licking Youth Baseball & Southwest Licking Youth Football and Cheer at Lions Park.
Where Does the Money go Then?
In 2024, the Lion Club of Pataskala Charitable Foundation made donations to 24 non-profit organizations, most right here in the Greater Pataskala Area. Which would not have been possible without your support of the Haunted Forest, and the 4,200 hours completed by 150 Lions and Non-Lions Volunteers.
