2024 Trunk-or-Treat Photos

Thank you to everyone who made this year’s Trunk-or-Treat a huge success! The Pinkney Neighborhood Association hosted more than 250 people on Sunday, Oct. 27 thanks to the support of community members who donated and participated with a trunk. 

Thank you to the Lawrence Memorial Hospital for allowing us to use your parking lot. This year’s Trunk-or-Treat collected 130 pounds of food for the Heartland Community Health Center Pantry. 

A special thank you to the following groups who supported the event: KU Women’s Rowing team, Studio 804 architect students, Family Promise, Just Food, the Library’s  Dottie, Police Department, and Senator Marci Francisco.

The KU Women’s Rowing team will host its 11th annual Jayhawk Jamboree this Saturday, Nov. 2 at 9:30 p.m. at Burcham Park. Show them the same support they showed our neighborhood and cheer on the Jayhawks this weekend! 

Check out the full photo gallery of the event below.

• Changing our Neighborhood Name

  Our neighborhood name of “Pinckney” was recently changed to “Pinkney.” This change occurred because Pinckney with a ‘c’ was associated with Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, a Revolutionary War general who signed the Constitution and who also was a slaveholder who believed slavery was fundamental to the American way of life (he owned a large plantation in South Carolina). Given this problematic history, neighborhood residents voted to change our neighborhood name. To learn more about the year-long process, go to our dedicated webpage. The final round of voting ultimately landed on the name of “Pinkney” in honor of William Pinkney, who gave a famous anti-slavery speech in 1789.
