Florida Business News - Disney Announces New Promotion - Presented by FindFloridaLaw.com


Disney recently announced that 1 million free tickets will be distributed to their theme parks for anyone who volunteers time and efforts to a charitable cause. To be eligible you must join and participate in one of the listed charities on the Disney web site.

This idea would be a great way to encourage members of the Florida Bar to provide pro-bono legal services through a variety of legal aid programs.

Here are some excerpts from Disney:

"The thrust of this program is really about inspiring people to consider and participate in volunteerism, with the hope that that will become a way of life for them," said Jay Rasulo, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. "We think, in this case, that doing good for our communities is good business."

Beginning Jan..1, guests will be able to sign up for volunteer work through a Disney Web site. People will be able to choose from service opportunities provided through HandsOn Network, which links volunteers with more than 70,000 nonprofits across the country.

After guests have completed their community service, they will receive a voucher good for a one-day ticket to any theme park at either Walt Disney World or Disneyland. The promotion will continue until Dec. 15 or until the 1.millionth ticket has been distributed, whichever occurs first.
