RIDE FOR RELIEF 2

Join us on Friday, September 23 from 5-10 PM for Ride For Relief 2 when HERSHEYPARK opens its gates to host a very special fund-raising event to benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina.


Admission $15 (ages 3+)*
2 and under Free
Free Parking for this Special Event


Proceeds from the admission will be divided equally between the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army.

Ride for Relief 2 is the second fund-raising event sponsored by HERSHEYPARK. On September 29, 2001, Ride for Relief was held to benefit the victims of the September 11th tragedy. When we learned of the devastation following Hurricane Katrina, all of us at HERSHEYPARK felt that sponsoring a similar event would be the best way for us to assist our neighbors in the Gulf Coast Region.

Ride for Relief 2 will feature**:


- More than 50 rides (including all 10 roller coasters)

- Rescue vehicles, including the Life Lion helicopter from the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, will be on display in the MIDWAY AMERICA section of the Park. Guests will have the opportunity to view the equipment and learn more about how rescues happen after a natural disaster.

- Live musical performances by several groups, including Pentagon at HERSHEYPARK Amphitheatre.

- A sampling of Cajun foods, including jambalaya and red beans and rice.

- The option to register to win a variety of prizes.


Please join us in person (or in spirit)!

pirates kick ninja asses, f00

yeas i get off work at 10 and i wanna go b.c i havent been to hershey this year

I do wish this wasn't a Friday too, we probably won't go because we'd have so little time there. The price is amazing though, I think it was $38 per person plus $7 to park this year during the regular season.

Who knows, maybe if MTA gets home from work early we'll go. I could use a few runs on Stormrunner!
