Volunteer Appreciation Idea

Hi Team,
Disney Parks and HandsOn Network are partnering to form a really cool program to reward volunteerism. See all the details below and pass the information along to anyone you think might be interested.

Thanks!

In 2010, HandsOn Network and Disney Parks want to inspire one million people to volunteer a day of service through the Give A Day. Get A Disney Day. program that celebrates good works by giving each qualified volunteer one day admission to a theme park at Disneyland® Resort or Walt Disney World® Resort, free.

HandsOn Network, the largest volunteer network in the U.S. and the sister organization of AmeriCorps Alums, is the activator for the Give A Day. Get A Disney Day. program with more than 250 HandsOn Actions Centers across the country in addition to 70,000 community-based partners such as food banks, homeless shelters, schools and faith-based organizations.

Here’s how we are asking AmeriCorps volunteers, alumni and your service organizations to get involved:

• Organize – If you work with an organization that engages volunteers, register to participate in the Give A Day. Get A Disney Day. and thank your volunteers for their service by providing opportunities for free Disney tickets. Teaming up with HandsOn Network for this program will help drive awareness of your organization and attract new volunteers to help fulfill your organization’s mission. Go to http://VOP.HandsOnNetwork.org to sign up. When registering, be sure to enter 1OR7X7A in the referral code field. You can also copy and paste it into the referral code field. This code helps us track the mobilization power of AmeriCorps Alums.
• Volunteer – Beginning Jan. 1, 2010, go to http://www.disneyparks.com/, find a volunteer opportunity near you and make your commitment to serve. Once you’ve completed your volunteer activity, you’ll receive your free ticket to Disney.
• Celebrate – Tell your friends, family and service network about this unique opportunity. Go to www.HandsOnNetwork.org/Disney for more information. As our nation is recognizing volunteerism as a pathway to solving our most pressing social issues, come celebrate with HandsOn Network and Disney Parks our shared vision of service and through the "Give A Day. Get A Disney Day.” program.
