moinab Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Kara (or anyone else who might know) - Â We would like to sign up for Carowinds (myself, husband, 9 year old and 11 year old,) but our problem is that we would have to have our 4 year old with us, as well, who won't be able to participate. Would Todd and I be able to take turns riding, while the other person hangs out around the park with the 4 year old? I realize we'd have to buy her a ticket, but that also brings up the concern that the event starts before the park opens... Â Anyone know where we can get an answer on this?

Taylor Finn Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I want to participate in the Cedar Point one. However, my parents are being tough about me driving. As an alternative option, I may decide to car pool if the opportunity presents itself. Is there anyone in the Pittsburgh area that would be willing to give me a lift, tentatively of course? I live about 15 minutes from the city and the airport, respectively, I would be more than willing to meet wherever is most convenient. If anyone is interested, you can PM me, I would be so appreciative. I wanna do this, but if they won't let me drive, I want to exploit any other reasonable option as well. -Taylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Benvenuto Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/christianbenvenuto/CedarPoint  Just asking for alittle help here reaching my goal. I mistakenly didn't realize I didn't put myself under the Team TPR flag and I need donations. So if you see Team Christian Benvenuto - that's me but ultimately with Team TPR. I'm trying to get this problem fixed, but just letting people know. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timberskara Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 After arriving at the airport, the families make their way to the Village to check-in. It's GKTW tradition to drive the children to their villa on a golf cart while one of the parents follows in the rental vehicle. This VIP treatment sets the tone that at Give Kids The World, it truly is all about the kids! Â Something you'll probably hear me say a lot on this virtual tour of sorts is "fully accessible." I tend to point it out over and over again when showcasing our venues because it is truly one of the most important features of our Village. It gives a sense of freedom not only to our wheelchair-bound visitors, but also to their parents who at home are constantly thinking "ok, how are we going to navigate this?" So let me ask you...when is the last time you've seen a fully accessible golf cart? Â The Star Express has allowed many of our special guests to experience riding in a golf cart for the very first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cas93 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I've never seen a golf cart like that. I wish there were more around like it! As someone who works with handicapped children, I understand the great need for things like that cart, along with much more. It just does so much for the children, and usually for the parents too.

It's wonderful that you work in that area and understand the need. It is truly amazing to see how things like this change the entire atitutde of the child, isn't it? I've also heard from countless siblings how cool it was to finally be able to experience things right alongside their brother/sister. The golf cart is only the beginning...stay tuned.

It is great to get an "inside look" at the charity we are working very hard to support. I truly love this organization, and the whole team, including dedicated hard workers such as yourself, deserves an incredible amount of praise! Kudos to all that you do for these more than deserving kids and their families. Â Seeing your updates just makes me want to work even harder to try and raise as much money as I possibly can and try to make a difference for these kids. I've pretty much spread my fundraising out in as many different directions as I can think of, and I'm already thinking of printing some sort of flyer and mailing it to everyone who lives in our immediate neighborhood. Â Anyway, thanks again for the updates, and I look forward to reading your future ones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillgeek Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I can't believe I've donated over $80 so far to this great cause. I'm also only $10 away from my goal of the min of 75. I'm thinking I should up my goal a bit since there is still plenty of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
