Most of the money was raised via sales of t-shirts by The Brand-UR who partnered with June and Alana to create the special shirts that tie bullying in with Halloween.

The shirt reads: "Boo Boo, Scare Away Bullying" on a background of a haunted house.

The boutique Lucy Lu's in Douglas, Georgia used the day and the Honey Boo Boo appearance to collect money for breast cancer awareness.

On the boutique's own Facebook page, the shop owner posted the custom-printed t-shirts that were available for the occasion.
