Fund-Raising Programs

Cedar Point offers a number of different fund-raising programs. Interested groups should call 1-800-668-5627 and request a Booster Bucks Information Packet. Information packets will be mailed out in mid March 2009.  Enclosed in the packet is an Information Sheet that must be filled out and returned. The Information Sheet can be mailed or faxed as follows:

Groups will be contacted on a first-come, first-served basis to discuss dates, schedules and payment. All dates will be considered tentative until a signed letter of agreement and signed W-9 form are received. Cedar Point retains the right to cancel up to 24 hours prior to the date. There are a limited number of dates available for the 2009 season, so it is important that interested groups return the information sheet as soon as possible.

Participants in all programs will be provided with and must arrive at Cedar Point in accordance with our grooming standards. (Enclosed in the information packet is a comprehensive outline of Cedar Point’s grooming requirements.)

There are four fund-raising programs depending on the amount of time a group is willing to commit. Information packet described above is valid only for the Booster Bucks program. Contact individual coordinators for other programs.
