adamico2 Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 In the spirit of making sure GKTW receives two dollars for each dollar I donate, I will match the next $20 donation to my page.
grinch1313 Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 I got my Team TPR goodie bag yesterday. I'm flying out tomorrow morning. I can't wait!
davidcornell Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Just got the email stating that the ranking lists will be generated based on donations as of noon eastern time on Thursday June 6. So far, Team TPR and I are in first place at Kings Island. Â Feel free to make a donation to help keep me there. http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/dcornell/KingsIsland2013

robbalvey Posted June 5, 2013 Author Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) Theme Park Review's Coasting For Kids riders have already raised $42,000 for Give Kids The World (WOW!), but we'd love to get that as close to $50k as possible!  Below are the links to our Team TPR pages.

packfanlv Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 We just received our Team TPR packages in the mail. Thank you for the support Robb & Elissa!
TyRush Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 We just received our Team TPR packages in the mail. Thank you for the support Robb & Elissa! Second this! GO TEAM TPR
GnastyGnoric7 Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Got my package on Monday, hope to see some of the children there
aLFREd_25 Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 So excited for this event! I donated to a fellow World's of Fun participant on team TPR that hasn't quite met the $75 limit. Think we can help her out? Â Also, thanks to those who donated to me. I'm honored to be part of such an amazing community of people. I'll also look forward to meeting some of you at WoF!
jray21 Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 If someone donates $50 to my page, I'll donate $50 to your page! And remember, that would qualify for a pretty awesome bag of crap!
KerryB Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Got my Team TPR pack...I've send out some email blasts to try to get that last bit to reach my goal! There are only three members in the Carowinds group, but we are only $115.00 away from an even $1,000 raised..so close! Hop on in there if anyone still wants to work towards the generous bags of crap offer! Here goes one more shameless plug on FB!! Go Team TPR! Â And for those that donated to my page, thank you!
sbrubakerjr Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 I haven't been to CFK before. I will be attending the event at Kings Dominion. Â Does anywhere know where registration will be at 11am? At the main gate?
robbalvey Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 If any of our riders are following us on Twitter - please RT our C4K tweets to your followers!
adamico2 Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 If someone donates $50 to my page, I'll donate $50 to your page! And remember, that would qualify for a pretty awesome bag of crap! Â I just had to take you up on your offer. Thanks! Â Joey is just $7 away from his goal; who wants to push him over the edge?
adamico2 Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 If someone quotes this post in the next five minutes, he will receive a ten dollar donation from me.

gromithere Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Wow. Just saw an e-mail from Kara that CGA is including a morning lap on Gold Striker on the Coasting for Kids itinerary! What an awesome surprise. Really have to give some props to CGA for going out of their way for this event!
PhantomNick Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 So, the final 4 hours are upon us! I have an all-day meeting with customers starting at 8, so I won't be able to keep an eye on things, but after a huge surge yesterday thanks largely to TPR, I've managed to move back into first (well, 2nd technically behind Jason's awesomeness! ), which means I would be able to donate my prize as planned to a child/family in need in the Dorney Park area! I am crossing my fingers that I'll stay there so I can do this!! I truly love this event and cannot wait for Sunday!! Â Also, I wanted to give a huge THANK YOU to ALL who donated to my page, including so many from here on TPR! You guys are all amazing, and it goes to show why I absolutely love this online community we have here. Kudos to all of you for the hard work you've done! It is beyond fantastic that TPR has raised so much money for GKTW already!! And a special thanks to Robb and Elissa who throw so much support and work behind this wonderful cause and charity! Without you guys leading the way, I think it's safe to say that many of us wouldn't have gotten to the fundraising levels we have. Thank you! Â Here's to finishing strong today! GO TEAM TPR!!!
coasterbill Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 I'm only $10 away from $100!!! Â You guys have been awesome so far. I'd love to get to the $100 mark. It's not as much as most people have raised but as a late entry I think it would give me something to build on for next time.
jazzimm Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 ^ I gave you that $10 you were hoping for!  A very kind person named Craig Jensen helped me reach my minimum by donating to my page last night, which just warmed my heart! I'm normally a fundraising whiz because I have a massive family, but I've been chasing them down for weeks and was only able to get one donation this time, so that really meant a lot to me. Thanks, Craig, whoever/wherever you are! I thought I'd post it here, assuming you're a TPR member! And you inspired me to "pass it on" (though I'm on a tight budget), and help somebody else reach their goal  Hope everyone enjoys the day Sunday!!
robbalvey Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 We have raised $48,000 for Give Kids The World! We have ONE HOUR to make it to $50k! Please donate to our riders here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1318790#p1318790
