Disney Parks has a new promotion for 2010. Instead of the Free Park Ticket on your birthday promotion that has been during 2009, Disney is promoting community service and rewarding it.
The 2010 promotion is called "Give a Day. Get a Disney Day." By vounteering a day of your time to a qualified volunteer agency, you can receive a free one day park ticket for either one of the Disney World parks or one of the Disneyland parks.
During 2010 Disney is hoping to inspire one million people to participate in this promotion and volunteer in their communities.
From the official Disney Press Release:
“In 2010, we want to recognize and add one more reason for celebration: the contributions people make to their communities every day,” said Jay Rasulo, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. “We want to inspire 1 million volunteers – people who will invest time and energy to make their own communities and neighborhoods a better place.”
To enable people to sign up for an eligible volunteer project, Disney is working with HandsOn Network, the nation’s largest volunteer network. Part of Points of Light Institute, HandsOn Network has 250 on-the-ground volunteer action centers across the country and connects volunteers to more than 70,000 nonprofit agencies that need their help.
“Wherever we live, our communities need our hands-on help to thrive,” said Michelle Nunn, CEO of Points of Light Institute. “We are thrilled at this unprecedented effort by Disney Parks to help mobilize 1 million volunteers into action. ‘Give a Day, Get a Disney Day’ has the potential to reach so many families and instill the volunteer spirit in a new generation.”
Bob Iger, president and CEO of The Walt Disney Company, said, “‘Give a Day, Get a Disney Day’ fits perfectly with our long history of supporting and participating in volunteer efforts. It’s a great way to honor guests who are making a positive contribution to their communities.”
