Single Riders 2008


Recommended Posts

Last year the Coaster Crew raised just under $7,000 with there charity group called Single Riders. No we are not a bunch of single guys raising money. We are filling empty seats on roller coasters to raise money. Or better known in the coaster world as Single Riders. All that money we raised went directly to Give Kids the World. A village in FL that gives kids and there family's a break from there terminal illness.

 

 

This year we are at it again, but going bigger and better. We are at more parks, and trying to raise more money to help these amazing people. We are looking for volunteers, riders, and donations. So please help in any way you can!

Volunteers

 

We are looking for people who can help the teams riding by assisting them in drinks, counting, what ever they may need. We also need other volunteers to help out at all the parks, the day of the event, and volunteers who will be working at the Give Kids the World Village the day of the event.

 

To volunteer: http://www.coastercrew.com/singleriders.php

 

Please make sure you send us a message if you donate from this site so we can make sure that we give a big thanks to you and the people at Theme Park Review for helping us out. I know its going to take a lot of work to bet $7,000, but I know we can do it!

 

If you have any questions feel free to post hear or email me at coasterclint@coastercrew.com

Yes the riders take pledges and donations before the event and then ride all day to raise money.

 

We have a lot of people looking at Kennywood as the park they want to work and ride at. That is some great stuff, but we also need people at the other three parks as well. So please if any one can sign up for them that would help out a lot!!

 

We do still have spots open for Kennywood to so if thats the only place you can help out, then sign up!

I signed up to help out at Kennywood, Clint. I would go to another park, but Kennywood, at 4 hours away, is the closest to me. Would love to help out, though, especially taking pledges in Cincinnati which I imagine a lot of your riders are not hitting up for money, yet.

Thanks James!!

 

In the next week or so we will start going through every one who wants to be a rider and start selecting and making teams. We can only have 8 riders at Kennywood. You will hear back from us soon via email on how everything works.

 

Also a big thanks to Kristi who donated the first donation of $50.00!! You don't have to start out that big, but $50.00 sure helps us get on our way. Please help with any donation you can. Even if its a $1.00, that will help a lot.

 

 

If you really don't know what Give Kids the World is, think of it as a place that gives kids and there family a vacation from there childs terminal illness. The park provides the family with a condo for one week in the Orlando area at there village. There they have a number of activitys like Mini Golf and a Marry-go-Round. On top of there village, they will get the family free tickets to any Orlando park the kids wish to visit the week they are at the Village. The family does not spend a dime. Food at all the parks, along with the Village, there stay, tickets. Its all paid for. Your donation of $1.00 could help stock there cookie cart that makes its way around the village all day long. A cart that provides free cookies to all the kids in the village. Like an ice cream truck, it drives around and kids can run out and get cookies from it with out a worry of paying for them. You could help with that $1.00

a lot of people don't know but the Orlando parks, Disney, Universal, Seaworld, and others not only donate large amounts to Give Kids the World. But they also send there characters there daily to meet the kids, and tuck them in at night.

 

So please help us out, weather its volunteering your time at the event, or donated that $1.00.

 

Thanks again Kristi for your donation!

Whoa, this reminds me alot of a comic I drew on the midwest trip about a superhero named Single Rider, who, much like you, helps the world by riding rollercoasters.

 

Aanyhow, gotta love what you're doing, there! Riding coasters to help the world... who knew that can actually be done?

I'll be sure do donate what I can. I'm VERY interested in the Great Adventure VIP tour, and I'll ask my mom if we can bid when she gets home. Sorry I can't go to the parks to ride they're just to far away. I hope all goes well!

I checked out the auctions and it looks like someone is going to get the VIP treatment for two at Six Flags in New Jersey for 200.00,I'd bid on that but I have a restraining order that keeps me out of Jersey, Oh wait. That's just my personal preference.

 

I'm going after the gravity group stuff!

I've been collecting pledges for 2 weeks, now, and my Dad offered to drive up with me (saving me miles on my car and the cost of gas). Is there going to be a table where we register at? My dad and I are planning on enjoying the park on Saturday, May 31st, and then he'll drop me off for the event Sunday. I haven't heard from Clint since getting the pledge forms.
