The amazing Give Kids The World Village in Orlando, FL is once again holding their "Coasting For Kids" event at Cedar Fair parks throughout the country. 

I've personally participated in this event at Knott's Berry Farm the past 3 years and it's truly one of the best days you can have while giving something back. 

Below you will find all of the registration information as well as a line-up of what each park is offering as far as perks and rides. Some of the parks have yet to announce their schedules but you can get your fundraising page going now. 

If you will be participating please let us know either in the comments below, on Facebook or Twitter and we will add your donation page to the links below. 

How to register

Registration is easy. Just visit the site below, pick the park you want to participate at and then set up your fundraising page.
