Hi everyone - you've likely gotten to this page by the email I've sent out.
The long and short of it is, I donated a few Lobalw's gift cards to a local family shelter a few weeks back - and when I got there, I spoke to the woman who was running the volunteer section and asked if there was something that the children (aged 5-13) likely wouldn't be able to do/access that I could maybe help facilitate... she didn't hesitate to say that they would LOVE to head to Canada's Wonderland.
I called Wonderland, and they don't donate tickets, so I thought that maybe I could crowd fund a day for these kids!
Here is where I am at for costs (assuming 20 people in total)…
1. Tickets: $36 * 20 +tax = $813.60
2. Bus to get them there and back: $511.52 + tax = $578
3. Food/drinks: $15 * 20 +tax = $339
4. Processing fee = $10
Total costs = $1740.60 *
* I am asking $2,000, to cover off incidentals - anything extra will be donate directly to the shelter
I am hoping to get some help from friends and family to make this a trip a reality for these kids. I know that people aren't always in a position to give, so don't feel obligated to do so if you can't.
If you have any questions, let me know (call, text or email)!
