Ok so for many of you that do not know, Six Flags as a company hosts a variety of fundraisers to help raise money for cures to diseases and cancers. On June 14, they are hosting A Walk in the Park - Taking Strides to Cure Kids Cancer. To join the walk and donate money, it is $10.00 a person which includes entry, t-shirt, breakfast, and a walk bag. Moving forward, there is also an option to host a team of members.

I was thinking what better way to help the kids than to show how strong of a community we have here at Great Adventure Outpost. You can find more information on the link below but if you are interested, please leave a post so I can start forming a team. All the proceeds are going towards research and a bunch of Six Flags employees such as Mark Kane, Kristen Seibeneicher, and Jen Lawton have signed up to participate. It is going to be a blast.

UPDATE: If you want to join our team, just follow the link to the GAOutpost Team Page where you can click join this team or sponsor this team. Please, if you can make the walk, then come as it promises to be a fun time walking around with your fellow board members as well as many others. If you can't make the walk, then simply sponsor or donate to the team fund. I set the bar at $100 which is pretty moderate if I may say so seeing we have 300 members.

ADMIN EDIT: This is from the 2009 Walk. Please see the post on the home page for 2010 details!

How much do we have to pay to walk? is that the 15 dollars price? Is that 15 dollars for all day admission?

overlord · « **Reply #7 on:** June 04, 2009, 11:44:06 AM »

Here we go, this should answer alot of questions:

Quote

HOW MUCH IS IT TO REGISTER?

$15.00 for all individual registrants
$10.00 for teams of 10 or more
Children 3 and under ~ FREE
"Cancer Children" ~ FREE

DOES REGISTRATION INCLUDE PARK ADMISSION?

No, but if you raise just $50.00, you will receive a FREE ticket to stay all day at the park. Each walker is eligible for only one ticket. For example, you will not receive two tickets for raising $100. Tickets will be issued the day of the event at walker registration. Please note that tickets are only valid on the day of the walk.

WHAT IF I DON'T RAISE $50.00, CAN I STILL PURCHASE A TICKET TO THE PARK?

Walkers who do not raise $50.00 are still welcome to enjoy the park with a discounted admission ticket. Please visit WWW.SIXFLAGS.COM/CURE to purchase specially priced ticket packages online. Coupons for discounted tickets will also be made available on the day of the walk. A portion of your paid ticket admission will be donated to Cure Kids Cancer.

DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR PARKING AT THE PARK?

Parking is available for all walkers at no charge.

More questions can be seen on their FAQ page.

Alright I just registered on the page Clint put up. So far it's me and him! It's pretty self-explanatory on how to sign up on the team.

And I guess I'm the "Anonymous" Because I unclicked to let the general public sponsor me, or something. Trying to see if I can fix that

But yeah, anyone who wants to sign up or donate to our team go there!

If we raise enough money to hit our goals for the incentives, we may have a contest and raffle off the prizes to the winners. So we are talking a free park ticket, a group of tickets, or even a season pass.

coastermom · « **Reply #10 on:** June 05, 2009, 01:21:44 PM »

I wanted to walk this day but we are just too busy and we are going Friday and Saturday of that weekend to the park .

I did start you guys off with a small donation . I hope you reach your goal it is a great cause ...

overlord · « **Reply #11 on:** June 05, 2009, 02:53:15 PM »

Thanks Coastermom! I am glad to see some people are getting involved in this.

WadeJ · « **Reply #12 on:** June 05, 2009, 08:28:04 PM »

Both Angel and Kristin tried to get me to join their team but I think I just need to stay home after being away from home for so long. But, I'll see what I can do to contribute when I get home

Where is everyone

Come one guys this is a really good cause .

coastersue · « **Reply #15 on:** June 10, 2009, 07:33:26 AM »

Can't make it to the park that day, but I did donate to both Angel and Kristin!

rjholla2003 · « **Reply #16 on:** June 10, 2009, 09:46:06 AM »

I won't be able to walk that day. If all goes well, I should be recovering from alcohol poisoning from a "Welcome Back to the Country...and the Government Will Let You Stay" party for my friend who just returned from a 10 moth deportation. Much better than the 3 years it could have been.

Since we're re-celebrating the holiday's she missed, I'll be useless that whole day.

But I will be donating! I have to support here, my department, and my friend, lol. Lots of mullah flying around.

jglonek · « **Reply #17 on:** June 11, 2009, 12:16:21 PM »

Don't forget about this guys! It's on Sunday and we could still use donations or anyone who wants to walk with us!

Clint and Steve, where are we meeting? And when?

Ogolo · « **Reply #18 on:** June 12, 2009, 09:07:03 AM »

I just helped out a bit.
I was going to try to walk too but I think I'll be walking behind a lawn mower all weekend.
Have fun!

overlord · « **Reply #19 on:** June 12, 2009, 12:46:49 PM »

Thanks Ken!

Also an update, registration on the site is closed however you can still sign up by showing up at the park between 8AM - 9AM Sunday morning then walk at 9AM. Its going to be beautiful out and let me tell you, the park has some great photo opportunities before its open and the sun is rising. Its only $15 and you get a t-shirt, bag, and free breakfast. Can't go wrong with that deal.

WadeJ · « **Reply #20 on:** June 12, 2009, 12:53:45 PM »

Crap, I let this slide. If I show up in person can I still also contribute to the team besides the 15 bucks?

overlord · « **Reply #21 on:** June 12, 2009, 12:55:34 PM »

Yeah I believe so. All cash donations are going to be turned in the day of.

jglonek · « **Reply #22 on:** June 12, 2009, 07:12:15 PM »

Where are we meeting guys?

overlord · « **Reply #23 on:** June 13, 2009, 01:05:41 AM »

Hmmm I guess we can meet at the Wawa then go from there?
