What is the best way to get into Kings Island this summer plus get fed, swag, and exclusive ride time? It is the Kings Island Kicks Cancer Coasterthon!
The thrill of riding a roller coaster will have a whole new meaning August 14, 2016 when Kings Island hosts the “Kicks Cancer Coasterthon” to raise money for the park’s annual Kicks Cancer Campaign, which raises money for research and care in the fight against cancers affecting men, women and children.
Kings Island fans and roller coaster enthusiasts alike will enjoy a day filled with riding the Racer, which opened with the park in 1972, over and over again between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., plus exclusive night rides on the Banshee roller coaster.
Net proceeds from the event will benefit three local charities: The Dragonfly Foundation, Melanoma Know More, and Pink Ribbon Girls.
All participants will receive:
•Complimentary admission ticket to Kings Island
•Kicks Cancer Coasterthon t-shirt
•Lunch
•Unlimited rides on The Racer
•Night Ride on Banshee
•Plaques will be awarded to the top five fundraisers
All participants are required to pay a $25 registration fee up front and raise a minimum of $75 in order to participate in this event.
Or if you do not want to participate, consider donating to one of the existing participants like the World Record Holder, Don Helbig, who holds the most number of rides on the Racer.
Fundraising ends August 8 at midnight.
