Disaster Transport Final Dispatch: A Mission for the Kids

[Defcon62]

No hotel for me, Its likely I have to get my butt to work right after the event ends.

Staying with a friend on Saturday and Sunday night, haven't got all the details yet as to where it is. Is anyone planning on picking up a Fast Lane pass for Sunday? Since I live in Florida now and haven't been to CP in over 4 years, I want to be able to ride as much as i can.

I'm staying at Rodeway Inn South on MilanRd. It's cheap ($36), but not a complete dump (that would be the other Rodeway that is on Cleveland) and less than 10 minutes from the park.

Anyone who donates to my page gets a prize! $2 gets a Geauga Lake key chain, $5 gets a GL shot glass, $20 a random grab bag of various Geauga Lake goodies, $40 a GL polo and a big grab bag of random stuff all fresh from my personal archives. Like my page says if I reach my fundraising goal I will wear a spaceman helmet for the event. Doesn't anyone want to see a spaceman make the last trip?

[Defcon62]

Thank you to all the donors so far! As promised those who donate to my page will get PRIZES, just PM your mailing addy to me and your prize will be in the mail as soon as I can drag my lazy carcass to the post office!

[Naina21]

We have 8 team members and $903 raised so far. The next highest team only has $265. I love how we support a great cause together. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone on Sunday.

 

Make that $913. I received another donation right after I posted this.

We are so close to the event now, please support one of the team members and lets try and get Team TPR over $1000!

[Naina21]

Let's try to get Team TPR members in the top 3 spots. Right now the top three on our team is: Ken Jones is 1st overall,

Joseph Cappello is in 5th and I am in 9th.

[Defcon62]

Thank you to all my donors so far, After my last post my email was exploding with donation notifications! PM your addresses so I can send your prizes. As usual we are crushing the competition, Lets go for taking the top 3 spots! This event will send disaster transport into the night on a good note so dig deep.

We have two team members who haven't hit the $50 mark so they can participate. If anyone can help them out, I'm sure they would appreciate it.

 

Denzel is at $41 http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/zerethon/finaldispatch

Danny is only at $16 http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/danny-lawson/finaldispatch

[Mr. Starr]

I noticed that Team TPR was at $993 so I donated $7 to Joe to hit the $1000 mark! Awesome job to all the members riding!

[kidcoaster 2]

*Edit* Just seen this ^ Thanks!

 

We hit the $1000 mark! Great job guys!

[Naina21]

We are over $1000, but we still have one team member that needs help hitting the $50 mark. I'm sure there are a few generous souls out there that will help him get to $50.

Thank you to everyone so far! This event is losing control! Over $5,500 has been raised so far! To my donors, if you haven't already pm'd your mailing addy so I can put your prize pack together. Final tally for donations are noon on friday so lets finish this strong. Ken is in first place with $361.00 and stands to win four 2012 admission tickets, four Fast Lane tickets and VIP seating to watch Luminosity in the Pepsi Plaza as the highest fundraiser although I'm going to try my hardest to give him a run for it. I'm at 4th place with $248 raised and a goal of $350, I'm $37 away from taking second place! Regardless of where we finish the kids and families served by GKTW win the most.

 

I ordered my space helmet off ebay today, I dare you to make me wear it!

Happy to see Team TPR raising so much! I'm still hoping to crack the Top 10...wouldn't take a lot to make that happen. I still have a few friends that aren't going to be able to donate until first thing tomorrow morning. Regardless, what a terriffic event this is going to be. Already purchased a Fast Lane for Sunday, looking forward to meeting you guys! It was a long drive up from Orlando, but definitely going to be worth it!

Since I don't think I will make it to the top 3, when I get paid tomorrow morning, I'll toss a few $$ your way to help get you to 3rd place. I'm hoping to just hold on to a top 10 spot.

Thanks in advance Miss Stacy! I will bring your prizes to the event. I was in 3rd briefly but got knocked back to 4th. I'm gonna finish this event strong and gonna shoot for at least second place. I'm just under $100 to reach my goal and wear the space helmet.

Who wants to see me wear this on Disaster Transport?

So excited to be part of Cedar Point history! But is anyone else having issues with the pages. I think Cedar Point took them down early or my computer isn't working. I can't get on any of the fundraising pages so.... hmmm, I wonder...
