It looks like everything is a go to do a Give Kids The World fund raiser at Cedar Point. We're going to do a ten-hour marathon on Gemini, for the first 60 or so people to sign up with donations of $50 or more. Hopefully we can net $6k or more. Actually, I won't be doing that much riding once the park opens, because I'll be helping handle media and pitching people on the midway once the park opens.
One of the obvious benefits of having a relatively small industry is that you can pull things together like this pretty quickly. Everyone involved knows each other and it just happens. (Actually, it was supposed to come together with a certain other large organization that fails at getting a lot of things to happen, but whatever.) The folks at CP I've known forever, and I know Susie at GKTW from being at three other parks. When they approached me about hitting up my audience, that was a no-brainer. Can we get coaster nerds to ride something all day in exchange for raising a little money? Duh! I'll have the details posted in a day or two.
I really needed something like this right about now. I need to get my head into something that involves good news for a change!
