Jan. 24th, 2005 -- Non-profit organizations looking for additional sources of funding now have a unique opportunity that also includes as much as $1,200 in prize money – Spring Spin: One Good Turn to Benefit Another™. The Great Escape & Splashwater Kingdom will host a special grand opening celebration for its 2005 season on Saturday and Sunday, May 14 and 15, for organizations attending Spring Spin™.

Spring Spin: One Good Turn to Benefit Another™ is a program designed to help non-profits raise additional funds while offering patrons a super value to The Great Escape & Splashwater Kingdom. Instead of the regular general admission price of $35.99, plus tax, non-profit organizations may sell tickets to the public for only $18. Each charity keeps $5 from each ticket sold. Guests purchasing tickets from participating organizations will enjoy unlimited rides, spectacular shows and incredible attractions, plus the opportunity to revisit the park any day during the 2005 season for just $10, plus tax. Patrons will be among the first to experience The Great Escape & Splashwater Kingdom’s 2005 season filled with innovative world-class entertainment and an arsenal of thrilling rides.

Additionally, the three top-selling organizations at Spring Spin: One Good Turn to Benefit Another™ will each receive a bonus check for $750, $300 and $150. Participating organizations must sign-up no later than Monday, April 11, 2005, but are encouraged to start selling tickets early with the hopes of raising as much as possible.

Local non-profits can start registering today for this 2005 campaign at www.SpringSpin.com or by calling toll free 1-866-388-SPIN (7746).
