Gambrill's Great Pumpkin Contest
Each year, Gambrill’s Great Pumpkin Contest raises funds for SafePath Children’s Advocacy Center, which supports children affected by abuse, neglect, and trafficking.
Staff from various departments submit creatively designed pumpkins or Halloween-themed entries, and winners are determined by the most money raised—each vote valued at $1. The winning department is awarded a custom glass-blown pumpkin trophy handcrafted by Lillie Glassblowers.
Over the past six years, the contest has raised up to $10,000 for SafePath.
