Get ready for a frightfully fun afternoon that makes a real difference! The Rackspace Foundation invites you to join us for our biggest fundraiser of the year — a spooky, carnival-style event packed with games, activities, and treats for the whole family.

We’re transforming our headquarters into a lively festival filled with friendly competition, hands-on STEM exhibits, and Halloween fun — all in support of a great cause. Every dollar raised goes directly to The Rackspace Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to advancing STEM education in San Antonio schools.

When: October 30, 2:30 PM – 6:30 PM
Where: Rackspace Technology, 19122 US-281 Ste. 128, San Antonio, TX 78258
Who: Everyone is welcome — families, children, friends, and community members!

Event Highlights:
Some carnival games, STEM booths, and attractions will require tickets. Tickets can be purchased at the event for $1 each (cash or PayPal), and all proceeds support The Rackspace Foundation and its mission to advance STEM education.
