CHARITABLE TICKET PROGRAM
Charitable Ticket Program Policy
Please read this information carefully to determine if you may be eligible for complimentary tickets.
The purpose of the Charitable Ticket Program is to assist qualified non-profit organizations, groups and individuals. Tickets for this program are limited and guidelines are strictly enforced.
Donations are made based on the need of the individual or group. We strive to assist as many physically or emotionally disabled individuals as we possibly can. We concentrate our efforts on providing a day of enjoyment directly to those individuals who would not be able to visit Cedar Point without our assistance. Donations are not given to organizations for incentives or rewards for their staff members being honored for their volunteer services for the organization, for students as incentives for good behavior and good attendance at school, as an incentive to entice children to participate in summer reading programs, etc.
Make-A-Wish requests will only be considered when submitted directly through a Make-A-Wish Chapter. Individual requests will not be considered.
Fund-raising provides valuable support to schools, churches, organizations and communities. Due to the demand, however, donations for fund-raising efforts are only made to causes that directly assist physically or emotionally disabled individuals, persons suffering from a catastrophic illness or who require a life-saving medical procedure or medical research.
Some requests that do not qualify include raising funds for the purchase of playground, sporting or computer equipment, scholarship programs, building renovations/expansions, general operating expenses, etc. We also do not donate tickets to be used as rewards for reading programs or prizes for events.
National organizations with chapters or branches throughout the country solicit our support each year (i.e. American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, United Way, Muscular Dystrophy Association, etc.). Due to the vast number of requests received, we try to support national and regional organizations or efforts on their behalf in our local surrounding area. There are some organizations that do not solicit donations in our own community and therefore we do consider these requests outside of our local community.
We do not donate to Post-Graduation/Prom activities. We receive numerous requests from high school groups and with limited resources available, we cannot provide tickets to every graduating class who requests them. Therefore, to be as fair as possible, we do not donate to any of these types of requests.
We usually do not make more than one donation to an individual, organization or cause in a given year. With few exceptions, we do not contribute to the same group or organization in consecutive years.
Usually donations are two to four complimentary tickets per qualifying request in most cases. However, there may be situations where more tickets are considered because of the size of an organization.
The above policies are basic guidelines. There will be times, however, when exceptions are warranted and will be made at the discretion of the program administrator.
