FUNDRAISING

Group Fundraising

Tired of all those bake sales, car washes, candy sales and raffles? Then turn your fundraiser into a FUN RAISER! Carowinds Group Fundraising Program is one of the easiest, most enjoyable fundraising programs around!

How Does the Program Work?

Carowinds is dedicated to helping non-profit groups achieve their goals and raise money for their organization. Interested groups can work in the park on select days. The hourly wages collectively earned by all members is then donated directly to their organization.

Payment

The Group will be rewarded a base rate of $7.25 per hour worked per volunteer. The group check will be made payable to the name of the Non-profit Organization listed on the W-9 Form. The check will be sent by certified mail to the group leader within four weeks of the date volunteered. Please note that Carowinds must have a current W-9 form (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification Form) on file before your check can be sent.

Ticket Bonus

The group will receive one 2010 Carowinds admission ticket for every two volunteers who complete their assigned shift without incident.

  • Tickets are valid from March 27-September 6, 2010 during regular operating days. No tickets will be issued for cancelled shifts, where no volunteering takes place.
  • If volunteers arrive late or choose to leave early, they will not be eligible for tickets. The ticket(s) will be sent out with the group check within four weeks of the volunteer date.
  • Groups volunteering after August 8, 2010 will be issued 2011 Carowinds admission tickets in March 2011.
  • Tickets earned by the volunteers are not to be resold under any circumstance.
  • Unused 2010 tickets will not be exchanged for 2011 tickets.
