Cousins Nicholas Pasternak, 15. and Amanda Fryar, 16, took their love of theatre production and turned it into a unique way to support GHS Children's Hospital: they created their own haunted house, Suburban Nightmare, and, in lieu of a fee, asked participants to give a donation for pediatric patients. Their 3-day Halloween celebration in Greer raised nearly $350 for GHS Children's Hospital patients and families.
