Give Kids the World announces ‘Coasting for Kids’ fundraiser for 2019
Give Kids the World Village, the Central Florida-based nonprofit that grants wishes for critically ill children and their families, is teaming up with 16 of the U.S.’s theme and amusement parks for their “Coasting for Kids” nationwide event.
Participants in this event who raise or donate at least $100 to support Give Kids the World will receive special Coasting for Kids passes, which give them access to exclusive perks at the park they choose to visit. All money raised by participants will help the nonprofit provide free weeklong vacations to critically ill children and their families.
During this 2019 event, each participating theme park will offer a special Coasting for Kids day. On this day, park guests who have raised at least $100 will receive the Coasting for Kids pass that earns them an event T-shirt and exclusive ride times.
