One hundred percent of donations are used to provide Helping Hands admission passes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through this program, complimentary tickets are distributed to nonprofit organizations, residential care providers, and community service agencies that support children and adults with disabilities and other special needs. These organizations then distribute the admission passes directly to the individuals they serve.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To ensure tickets reach those who can benefit most, complimentary admission passes are provided through partnering organizations rather than directly to individuals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><u>Become a Donor<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0We accept Cash, Check, Visa, or MasterCard.
