What Do Pink Pumpkins Mean?
Creates awareness for early detection of breast cancer and the continued search for a cure. These are becoming more popular because October is Breast Cancer Awareness month so let's rock those pink pumpkins!
What Do Blue Pumpkins Mean?
Chosen to represent autism awareness, homes that display a blue pumpkin are pledging to create an inclusive environment for those with sensory sensitivities.
What Do White Pumpkins Mean?

What Do Red Pumpkins Mean?
Warns people of the dangers of drunk driving, especially on Halloween when children are in the streets. I hadn't heard of this one until this year but I really like this one :)

These houses advocate for the disabled, but yellow trick-or-treat bags may also signify that the child needs a little extra compassion.
We hope your trick-or-treating is a lot of fun this year!
