jray21 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Just got my stuff! Awesome, thanks Robb! **This Thursday, 12pm Eastern Time is the deadline!!!*** I just got an email and the final counts for the prizes is now Thursday, at noon, Eastern time, so 9am on the west coast! So there is less than 2 days left!! Just a reminder, you can still raise money after that, but that is the time they will count up the donations for the event and the prizes. Final reports will be run this Thursday, June 6 at Noon EST. While your fundraising pages will continue to stay live following the event, reports must be run at this time to finalize the participant list and determine the first, second and third place top fundraisers at each location. Remember, the real winners from this event are the deserving children who will get to experience a week without worry because of your hard work! Please double-check that you have met or exceeded the $75 minimum per person by Thursday, June 6 at Noon EST to ensure your participation in the event. Each participant must have paid the $25 registration fee and raised at least $75 in order to attend. If you have collected offline donations, be sure to manually enter them on your FirstGiving fundraising page in order to get them counted towards your fundraising total. You can do this by signing-in to your FirstGiving account and clicking “Add offline donation.” Offline donations must be brought to the park and turned in on the day of the event. Checks should be made payable to Give Kids The World. Edited June 4, 2013 by jray21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanlv Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Hello I am riding as part of Team TPR with my son and husband. My donations are a little low right now and I could use some help! I am so excited to be participating in this event for such a good charity! Here is my page: https://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/JasmineCoomer/KnottsBerryFarm2013 Jasmine I got you up to the $75 minimum. Have a great time! -Jason Thank you Jason for everything. All three of us are now set to ride this Sunday. Hopefully we can raise some more $$$ before then though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aLFREd_25 Posted June 5, 2013 Share 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? 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!

gromithere Posted June 6, 2013 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomNick Posted June 6, 2013 Share 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!! 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! Here's to finishing strong today! GO TEAM TPR!!!
