**UPDATE: Starting July 1, all presenting donors will be entered for a chance to win one of two grand prize packages. Come to give blood, platelets or plasma July 1-31, 2021, and you’ll automatically be entered to win a trip for four to Cedar Point or Knott’s Berry Farm!* Each winner will receive a trip including:

– Travel and two-night accommodations at a participating hotel
– Two days’ worth of family four-pack admission tickets during the 2021 season
– Special experience items to make the most of your visit, including fast pass, all day dining pass and souvenir cup with free refills for each ticket holder per day

In the early days, the birth of the CPFoodBlog was founded on getting free tickets from various promotions. However, as we quickly grew, it was better for our family to purchase Platinum season passes. However, there still exists some great gems for free tickets for the occasional park goer.

One of the long standing promotions is with the Red Cross. At select blood drives, donors will receive a free ticket to a Cedar Fair park of their choosing.

2021 eligible parks includes the following:
– California Great America
– Carowinds
– Cedar Point
– Dorney Park
– Kings Dominion
– Kings Island
– Knott’s Berry Farm
– Michigan Adventure
– Valleyfair
– Worlds of Fun

Donors are required to pre-register on the Red Cross website to qualify for the promotion at the following locations.
