Gollihar is responsible for construction, planning and gathering materials needed to build effective scenes. There are two external chairman, Jeff Kehm and Peter Noto, who are responsible for advertising the event and raising funds needed to buy supplies through sponsorships and donations.
"It's quite a bit of work, but it's worth it," Gollihar said. "One girl was telling me that she has been coming to Wicked Woods since she was 8 years old. Families love it, the community loves it, and we love it. In fact, I don't see us ever stopping Wicked Woods; it has been very successful, and it does a lot of great work for charity."
The fraternity puts the haunted trail on as part of yearly philanthropy events.
Philen said that they chose to give part of the funds to CARPOOL because they wanted to give back to an organization within the Texas A&M Community and promote responsibility.
Tickets for the event cost $10, however with a canned good, $2 are deducted from the price. All non-perishable items received will be sent to the Brazos Valley Food Bank.
Philen said that each year, college students, families, Aggie athletes and professors come together to benefit the community. They pass through the haunted trail in search of a scare and simultaneously help those who cannot help themselves.
